Product Uses
Sentinel is an oral tablet that is used to prevent heartworm disease, control flea populations and adult hookworms and remove and control adult roundworm and whipworm infections in dogs.
Product Contains
Each tablet contains: MILBEMYCIN OXIME & LUFENURON
Dosage and Administration
Dose one tablet monthly, preferably on the same date. The tablet can be given by hand as a treat, offered in food or given as for other tablet medications. Ensure that the pet consumes the whole dose.
Heartworm is transmitted via mosquitoes, therefore the first dose of Interceptor should be given within one month of the start of the mosquito season and monthly until the end of the season for effective heartworm prevention.
Warnings, Side Effects and Drug Interactions
Sentinel can be used safely on puppies over four weeks of age and 2 pounds in weight, and kittens over the age of 6 weeks and 1.5 pounds bodyweight. Dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections prior to commencing Sentinel if they have not been on previous heartworm control as allergic reactions can occur if the product is given to animals with an active heartworm infection.
The lufenuron in Sentinel inhibits the development of flea eggs into adults; it does not have any action in killing the adult fleas. Concurrent use of other products effective in killing adult fleas may be necessary for complete flea control. All animals in the 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.
