Is it safe to give my cat a flea tablet if Frontline isn't working?

Question

Hi there, Is it possible to give my cats Johnsons 4fleas tablets as well as frontline spot on? The spot on runs out anyway on Saturday but has proven inaffective to this bout of fleas so was wondering if it would be safe to give them a tablet now or wait?

If the active ingredient is Nitenpyram (I am having trouble finding this product online but I believe this is the ingredient) then it is fine to give along with Frontline. If you are having a problem with fleas in your cat you may need a prescription product that works long term from your vet such as Comfortis in addition to treating your home, all other pets, and your yard.
