How does Senergy work?
Senergy contains active ingredient selemectin, a topical parasiticide that prevents flea eggs from hatching, prevents the development of adult heartworm, kills adult fleas, and treats and controls hookworm, ear mite, and roundworm infestations.
Cautions:
Prior to administration of SENERGY, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected dogs should be treated to remove adult heartworms. Selamectin is not effective against adult D. immitis and, while the number of circulating microfilariae may decrease following treatment, selamectin is not effective for microfilariae clearance. Hypersensitivity reactions have not been observed in dogs with patent heartworm infections administered three times the recommended dose of selamectin. Higher doses were not tested. Not for human use. Keep out of the reach of children.In humans, SENERGY may be irritating to skin and eyes. Reactions such as hives, itching and skin redness have been reported in humans in rare instances. Individuals with known hypersensitivity to SENERGY should use the product with caution or consult a health care professional. SENERGY contains isopropyl alcohol and the preservative butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Wash hands after use and wash off any product in contact with the skin immediately with soap and water. If contact with eyes occurs, then flush eyes copiously with water. In case of ingestion by a human, contact a physician immediately.Do not use in sick, debilitated or underweight animals.
