The FDA granted Emergency Use Authorization for Capstar and its generic Nitenpyram Tablets to prevent and treat New World screwworm infestations in dogs and cats, expanding their use from treatment only to prevention as well.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Health.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You now have an FDA-approved preventative drug for New World screwworm in pets, opening new opportunities in veterinary care and pet health products. This authorization means faster market entry if your startup addresses vet treatments or diagnostics in affected regions.
