DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
SENTINEL FLAVOR TABS are given orally, once a month, at the recommended minimum dosage of 0.23 mg/lb (0.5 mg/kg) milbemycin oxime and 4.55 mg/lb (10 mg/kg) lufenuron. Dogs over 100 lbs are provided the appropriate combination of tablets.
Administration
TO ENSURE ADEQUATE ABSORPTION, ALWAYS ADMINISTER SENTINEL FLAVOR TABS TO DOGS IMMEDIATELY AFTER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH A NORMAL MEAL.
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 tablet.
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 before 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 replaces daily diethylcarbamazine (DEC) for heartworm prevention, the first dose must be given within 30 days after the last dose of DEC.
Storage Conditions
