Uses

SENTINEL Flavor Tabs are indicated for use in dogs and puppies, four weeks of age and older, and two pounds body weight or greater. SENTINEL Flavor Tabs are also indicated for the prevention of heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis, for the prevention and control of flea populations, the control of adult Ancylostoma caninum (hookworm), and the removal and control of adult Toxocara canis and Toxocara leonina (roundworm) and Trichuris vulpis (whipworm) infections.

Lufenuron controls flea populations by preventing the development of flea eggs and does not kill adult fleas. Concurrent use of adulticide product may be necessary for adequate control of adult fleas.

SENTINEL Flavor Tabs may be used con currently with CAPSTAR® (nitenpyram) Tablets to provide a Flea Management System that kills adult fleas and prevents flea eggs from hatching. Please see the Supplemental Veterinary Package Insert provided with this product for information about concurrent use of the two products,

Without concurrent use of an adulticide, adequate flea control may not be achieved in dogs that have repeated exposure to flea infested animals or environments.

In dogs and puppies, the concurrent use of SENTINEL Flavor Tabs and CAPSTAR Tablets is indicated to kill adult fleas and prevent eggs from hatching. The effects of SENTINEL Flavor tabs, which prevent and control flea populations, and CAPSTAR Tablets, which treat flea infestations are combined to provide a FLEA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
