Manufactured by Novartis, Sentinel is used to prevent, control and treat different types of parasitic infections. It does not allow flea eggs to hatch and so controls flea population, prevents heartworm disease and treats roundworms, hookworms and whipworms in dogs.
Milbemycin Oxime and Lufenuron are the two active ingredients present in Sentinel. Milbemycin Oxime interferes with the nervous system of the worms thereby getting rid of immature stages of heartworm larvae and adult stages of hookworms, roundworms and whipworms. Lufenuron is an insect development regulator that breaks the flea life cycle by stopping the flea egg development. But it does not kill adult fleas.
Please Note:Novartis is now acquired by Elanco. So, the manufacturer’s name on product packs may vary according to the available stock.
