Sentinel is an oral broad-spectrum preventive treatment that controls heartworms, adult hookworms, adult roundworms, whipworms, and prevents the development of flea eggs. It is a monthly oral treatment which is recommended for dogs and puppies over 4 weeks and 2 lbs. It is suitable to use on pregnant and nursing dogs. This treatment needs to be given with a meal for maximum effectiveness.
Sentinel is used to prevent, control and treat different types of parasitic infections in dogs. It does not allow flea eggs to hatch and thus 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.
