| Indication | Monthly treatment prevents heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) infection; controls adult roundworm (Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina), immature roundworm (Toxocara canis), adult whipworm (Trichuris vulpis), adult hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum), adult tapeworm (Echinococcus granulosus, Taenia pisiformis and Dipylidium caninum), provides long term protection and control of flea (Ctenocephalides felis) infestations, and forms part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis in dogs. Flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). The most important part of the treatment of FAD is preventing flea bites. Lufenuron reduces the number of fleas in the pet's environment to a negligible level. Treatment with lufenuron for several months has been shown to dramatically improve the clinical signs of FAD in dogs. |
| Actions | Milbemycin oxime prevents heartworm and controls gastrointestinal nematodes. Milbemycin oxime increases nematode membrane permeability to chloride ions via glutamate gated chloride ion channels, leading to flaccid paralysis and death of the parasite. Lufenuron inhibits the development of flea eggs and larvae by interfering with the synthesis of chitin, the principal component of the arthropod exoskeleton, thus interrupting the flea life cycle. Praziquantel controls tapeworms by modifying the permeability of their membranes to calcium, inducing damage to the membranes and resulting in the death of the parasite. |
| Warnings | Dogs should be tested and be free from both adult heartworm and microfilariae before starting on preventative treatment with Sentinel Spectrum. |
| Precautions | Sentinel Spectrum provides a wide margin of safety in dogs when used according to label directions. Milbemycin oxime combined with lufenuron has been tested in over 75 different breeds of dogs, including pregnant females, breeding males and females, and puppies. Satisfactory margins of safety have been demonstrated for both milbemycin oxime and praziquantel when administered during all reproductive phases.First Aid If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
