Directions for use
- Press cap until you hear a ‘click’ – remove the tube from its protective package. Hold upright and press the cap to puncture the seal. Remove the cap to apply the product
- Part your cat’s hair on their neck so that the skin is visible and touch the tube tip on the skin. Squeeze tube 3 or 4 times in one spot
- Squeeze the tube to empty entire contents – keeping the tube squeezed, glide it along the skin and away from the liquid, then lift the tube off. Ensure the tube is empty before disposal
Flea Treatment, Control and Prevention
- If your cat already has fleas before the first dose, adult fleas will be killed, and no viable flea eggs will be produced afterward, thus stopping flea reproduction
- An environmental infestation of fleas may continue for a brief period after beginning treatment because of the emergence of adult fleas from pre-existing pupae
- Large reductions in flea infestations are to be anticipated after treatment as flea eggs and larvae in surrounding areas are killed or prevented from developing to adults
- For prevention and control of fleas, administer at monthly intervals throughout the flea season to ensure fleas are killed and no viable flea eggs are produced
- This breaks the flea life cycle, controls and prevents flea infestations and improves the clinical signs associated with flea allergy dermatitis
- It is recommended that all cats, dogs and other animals in the same environment are treated with an effective flea control product
Tick Treatment and Control
- A single dose treats and controls paralysis ticks (I. holocyclus) within 72 hours of infestation for 5 weeks after treatment
- Starts to kill paralysis ticks within 24 hours after the first treatment and is effective at killing new infestations within 48 hours
- Monthly treatment may begin at any time of the year and should continue without interruption in areas where ticks are common year-round
- During the tick season, daily searching for and removal of any ticks is recommended
Heartworm Prevention
- For the prevention of heartworm disease, apply on a monthly basis
- It may be applied year-round or at least within one month after the animal’s first exposure to mosquitoes and monthly thereafter
- If a dose is missed and a monthly interval between dosing is exceeded, then immediate application and resumption of monthly dosing will minimise the chance of adult heartworm formation
- When replacing a different monthly heartworm preventive product, the first dose of Revolution Plus must be given within a month of the last dose of the previous medication
- May be safely applied to heartworm infected animals; however, all animals ≥ 6 months of age should be tested for existing heartworm infections before starting medication
- This product is not effective against adult D. immitis, but it may reduce the number of circulating microfilariae
Intestinal Worm Treatment and Control
- For the treatment of adult intestinal hookworms (A. tubaeforme) and adult roundworms (T. cati), apply as a single treatment
- Monthly use will control hookworm and roundworm infections
Ear Mite Treatment and Control
- A single dose is effective in treating ear mites (O. cynotis)
- It is recommended to cleanse the infested ears to remove debris
Lice Treatment and Control
- For the treatment of biting lice (F. subrostratus), apply monthly
- Effective for 42 days post-treatment
