Lufenuron is used to control flea infestations in dogs and cats over 6 weeks of age. It is not effective against ticks. Lufenuron is an insect development inhibitors or insect growth regulator. This drug does not kill adult fleas, but it breaks the flea’s life cycle by inhibiting flea development. Lufenuron is often used in combination with another product (eg, nitenpyram) to kill adult fleas.

The FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) has approved this drug for use in dogs and cats for treating flea infestations. Lufenuron may also be used to treat ringworm or certain fungal infections in dogs and cats, but it must be given at much higher doses and given more often than when used for flea control. The FDA does allow veterinarians to prescribe and use products containing this drug in different species.  Lufenuron works by inhibiting production of chitin, which is the material that makes up the hard exoskeleton that protects insects. While adult fleas already have the chitin they need, flea larvae must make chitin in order to hatch and survive. Adult female fleas treated with lufenuron will pass it on to their eggs, thereby preventing their larvae from making chitin and hatching.

Dose and Administration

The typical dose of lufenuron in dogs is 5 mg/lb (10 mg/kg) once monthly. In cats, the typical dose is 15 mg/lb (30 mg/kg) once monthly.
