Revolution Plus Topical Solution for Cats

How does Revolution Plus work?

Revolution Plus contains two active ingredients, selamectin and sarolaner, that penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream. These ingredients work by attacking the nervous system of parasites, leading to their paralysis and death. They start killing fleas within 6 hours of administration, begin to kill ticks within 24 hours of administration, prevent heartworm development, and eliminate and control ear mites and other worms. With just one monthly application, Revolution Plus provides comprehensive protection against a range of parasites, making it a convenient and effective option for cat owners.

How to apply Revolution Plus for Cats

• Check the weight and age of your cat to ensure that you are using the appropriate dose of Revolution Plus. Your veterinarian will be able to provide guidance on the appropriate dose for your cat.
• Remove the Revolution Plus tube from its packaging and hold it upright.
• Remove the cap from the tube and part the hair on the back of your cat’s neck at the base of the skull, to expose the skin.
• Place the tip of the tube on the exposed skin and squeeze the tube several times to empty the entire contents directly onto the skin. Do not apply Revolution Plus to broken skin or areas with excessive hair.
• After application, discard the empty tube and wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

It’s important to ensure that the medication is applied directly to the skin, not just on the hair, to ensure proper absorption. You should also avoid bathing or grooming your cat for at least 2 hours after applying Revolution Plus to allow the medication to absorb properly.

REVOLUTION PLUS is safe and effective for most cats, but there are some important precautions to keep in mind. This medication has not been established as safe for use in kittens less than 8 weeks old or in breeding, pregnant, or lactating cats. Reported side effects during clinical trials included lethargy and anorexia. If your cat has a history of neurologic disorders, use REVOLUTION PLUS with caution. Keep in mind that sarolaner, one of the active ingredients in REVOLUTION PLUS, belongs to the isoxazoline class, which has been linked to adverse reactions such as tremors, ataxia, and seizures.
