Revolution Plus Topical Solution for Cats (5.6-11 lbs)

Revolution Plus Orange Tube for 7-in-1 Parasite Protection in Cats 5.6–11 lbs

Product Description

Revolution Plus (selamectin and sarolaner) is a prescription-strength, quick-drying monthly topical solution applied to the back of a cat's neck, formulated for cats and kittens weighing 5.6 to 11 lbs. The orange-capped tube delivers a precisely measured 0.5 mL dose containing 30 mg selamectin and 5 mg sarolaner. Selamectin, a macrocyclic lactone, and sarolaner, an isoxazoline-class acaricide, work together to provide broad-spectrum internal and external parasite protection in one simple monthly application covering fleas, four tick species, ear mites, heartworm, roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworm prevention.

Benefits

• 7-in-1 Parasite Defense: A single monthly application protects cats against fleas, four tick species, ear mites, heartworm disease, roundworms, hookworms, and helps prevent tapeworm infections.
• Only Rx Combination for 4 Tick Species: Revolution Plus is the only prescription combination preventative for cats proven to kill four types of ticks, including the deer tick that may carry Lyme infections.
• Kills Fleas Before Egg Laying: Kills adult fleas on treated cats before they can lay eggs, interrupting the flea life cycle and helping prevent household re-infestation.
• Tapeworm Infection Prevention: By killing Ctenocephalides felis vector fleas on the treated cat, Revolution Plus also prevents Dipylidium caninum (flea tapeworm) infections.
• Heartworm Disease Prevention: Monthly application prevents Dirofilaria immitis (heartworm) disease; bathing the cat 24 hours after application does not reduce effectiveness against heartworm.
• Treats Internal Parasites: Controls roundworm (Toxocara cati) and intestinal hookworm (Ancylostoma tubaeforme) infections, providing protection against both internal and external parasites.
• Quick-Drying and Easy to Apply: The small-volume, non-greasy, colorless-to-yellow solution dries quickly after topical application with no need for gloves, making monthly dosing simple and stress-free.
• Vet-Trusted for Over 20 Years: Built on the proven legacy of Revolution (selamectin), Revolution Plus is the most prescribed parasite preventative for cats by veterinarians.

How to Use

Directions for Use

• Prescription Required: Revolution Plus is federally restricted to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian; always obtain a valid prescription before purchasing or administering.
• Puncture the Seal First: Firmly press the cap down onto the tube until a clicking sound confirms the seal has been punctured, then remove the cap and verify the tip is open before applying.
• Correct Application Site: Part the hair at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades until the skin is visible, then place the tube tip on the skin and squeeze 3 to 4 times to empty the entire contents in one spot.
• Do Not Massage Into Skin: After applying, do not rub or massage the solution into the skin; drag the tube away while still squeezed and lift to remove, then verify the tube is fully empty.
• Apply Only to Dry Coat: Do not apply Revolution Plus when the hair coat is wet or to broken skin; avoid contact between the product and your fingers during application.
• Bathing After Application: Bathing or shampooing the cat at least 24 hours after treatment does not reduce the effectiveness of selamectin against heartworm disease.
• Monthly Year-Round Use: Apply once every 30 days, year-round; for heartworm prevention, administer at least one month before first mosquito exposure and continue monthly through the end of the season.
• Treat All Household Pets: To prevent tapeworm infections from fleas on untreated animals, it is recommended that all pets in the household receive appropriate flea control treatment.
