Product contains:
Milbemycin oxime and lufenuron
Product indications:
Sentinel® is an oral tablet used to prevent heartworm disease, control flea populations and adult hookworms, and remove and control adult roundworm and whipworm infections in dogs.
Dosage and administration:
Give your pet one tablet monthly, preferably on the same date, or as otherwise directed by your veterinarian. The tablet can be given to your pet by hand as a treat, offered in food or given as any other tablet medications. Ensure that the pet consumes the whole dose.
Heartworm is transmitted via mosquitoes, so for effective heartworm prevention the first dose of Interceptor should be given within one month of the start of the mosquito season and monthly until the end of that season.
Warnings, side effects and potential drug interactions:
Sentinel can be used safely on puppies more than four weeks old and weighing more than two pounds.
Dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections prior to commencing Sentinel treatment if they have not been given previous heartworm control, as allergic reactions can occur if the product is given to animals suffering from an active heartworm infection.
The lufenuron ingredient in Sentinel inhibits the development of flea eggs into adults; it does not have any effect in killing adult fleas. Concurrent use of other products effective in killing adult fleas may be necessary for complete flea control. All animals in the same household should be treated for fleas for full efficacy of the product.
On rare occasions, the following adverse effects have been observed in animals dosed with Sentinel: depression, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, itchy skin, a skin rash, salivation, weakness, unsteadiness, loss of appetite or seizures. Should any adverse effects be noted during treatment, Sentinel should be discontinued and a veterinarian contacted for assistance.
Storage:
Store tablets in a dry place at controlled room temperature, between 59-86°F (15-30°C).
