SENTINEL® FLAVOR TABS®

(milbemycinoxime - lufenuron)

DESCRIPTION:

Sentinel for Dogs & Puppies does not kill adult fleas, but contains lufenuron which inhibits the development of flea eggs to break the flea life cycle. Sentinel pet meds are given once a month to dogs for heartworm prevention and flea control. Sentinel also removes and controls adult roundworm and whipworm infections. SENTINEL Flavor Tabs are available in four tablet sizes in color-coded packages for oral administration to dogs and puppies according to their weight. (. Each tablet is formulated to provide a minimum of 0.23 mg/pound (0.5 mg/kg) of milbemycin oxime and 4.55 mg/pound (10 mg/kg) body weight of lufenuron.

CAUTION: US Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

PRECAUTIONS:

SENTINEL Flavor Tabs are palatable and most dogs will consume the tablet when offered by the owner. As an alternative to direct dosing, the tablets can be hidden in food. Be certain the dog consumes the entire tablet or tablets. Administer SENTINEL Flavor Tabs to dogs, immediately after or in conjunction with a normal meal. Food is essential for adequate absorption of lufenuron. Watch the dog closely following administration to be sure the entire dose has been consumed. If it is not entirely consumed, redose with the full recommended dose as soon as possible.

SENTINEL Flavor Tabs must be administered monthly, preferably on the same date each month. Treatment with SENTINEL Flavor Tabs may begin at any time of year. In geographic areas where mosquitoes and fleas are seasonal, the treatment schedule should begin one month prior to the expected onset and should continue until the end of “mosquito and flea season.” In areas with year-round infestations, treatment should continue through the entire year without interruption.

If a dose is missed and a 30-day interval between dosing is exceeded, administer SENTINEL Flavor Tabs immediately and resume the monthly dosing schedule. If SENTINEL Flavor Tabs replace daily diethylcarbamazine (DEC) for heartworm prevention, the first dose must be given within 30 days after the last dose of DEC.

WARNINGS:

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Consult your veterinarian before administering to sick or pregnant animals.
