Revolution Topical for Cats
A monthly topical medication used to protect your cat from heartworms, fleas, hookworm, roundworm, and ear mites.
Usage
Revolution should be applied once a month using an applicator provided with the specific medication for your cat tailored to its weight or as directed by your veterinarian. Making sure that your cat is dry before applying, you may begin by holding the applicator upright and away from the face, you may push the cap down until you hear a click sound. You may then remove the cap to ensure the seal has been broken before positioning the tip of the applicator on the cat's back between the shoulder blades. Using the tip of the tube to part the animal's hair so that the medication will be applied directly to the skin, begin squeezing out the contents of the tube 3-4 times in one spot until empty. After administering the product, avoid contact with the treated area until dry. Do not massage the product into the skin and do not apply to broken skin. Always follow your veterinarian's instructions. | Cat Weight | Strength | Potency | Volume | Dosage | |-------------|-----------------------------------|----------|---------|-----------------------| | up to 5 lbs | 15 mg Selamectin per tube (MAUVE) | 60 mg/mL | 0.25 mL | One tube once a month | | 5.1-15 lbs | 45 mg Selamectin per tube (BLUE) | 60 mg/mL | 0.75 mL | One tube once a month | | 15.1-22 lbs | 60 mg Selamectin per tube (TAUPE) | 60 mg/mL | 1.0 mL | One tube once a month | Revolution should be stored below 30°C (86°F).
