Revolution PLUS

What is Revolution PLUS?

Revolution PLUS is a veterinary antiparasitic medication intended exclusively for cats. It is available as a topical pipette applied directly to the skin. Its formula combines two well-recognized active ingredients, selamectin and sarolaner, providing broad-spectrum protection tailored to the specific needs of cats.
Selamectin has been used for many years in veterinary medicine for its effectiveness against various internal and external parasites, while sarolaner enhances activity against external parasites such as fleas and ticks. Together, these two molecules provide extended coverage with a single monthly application.
Revolution PLUS is designed to simplify parasite prevention by reducing the number of treatments required, while maintaining a high level of safety when used according to veterinary recommendations in Canada.

What is Revolution PLUS used for?

Revolution PLUS is used for the prevention and treatment of multiple parasites in cats. It acts against adult fleas and helps prevent infestations, while also being effective against certain ticks and mites responsible for skin and ear conditions.
In addition to its external action, Revolution PLUS plays an important role in the prevention of heartworm disease, a serious condition transmitted by mosquitoes. Regular administration significantly reduces associated risks, even in cats that live primarily indoors.
With its comprehensive coverage, Revolution PLUS fits easily into a veterinarian-recommended preventive program, particularly for cats living in Quebec, where parasites may be present year-round depending on the environment.

Dosage

Revolution PLUS dosage depends exclusively on the cat’s weight. It is essential to use the pipette corresponding to the correct weight range to ensure optimal effectiveness and safe use.
Revolution PLUS is available in different colour-coded presentations:

• Gold: cats weighing 1.3 to 2.5 kg
• Orange: cats weighing 2.6 to 5 kg
• Green: cats weighing 5.1 to 10 kg

Each tube contains a precise amount of selamectin and sarolaner adapted to the indicated weight range. Pipettes must not be split and should not be used in cats whose weight does not match the selected presentation. Your veterinarian will determine the appropriate format at the time of prescription.

How and how often should I give Revolution PLUS to my pet?

Revolution PLUS is administered topically using a pipette. The contents should be applied directly onto the skin, usually at the base of the neck or between the shoulder blades, after parting the fur.
The dosing frequency is monthly. One application per month helps maintain continuous protection against the targeted parasites. It is recommended to choose a fixed date each month to ensure regular prevention and avoid missed doses.
After application, prevent the cat from licking the treated area or having close contact with other animals until the solution has completely dried. Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions for optimal use.

When used according to veterinary recommendations, Revolution PLUS is generally well tolerated by cats. However, mild and temporary side effects may occasionally occur.
Possible effects may include:

• skin reactions at the application site, such as redness, mild irritation, or localized hair loss
• temporary excessive salivation if the product is accidentally licked

Revolution PLUS is intended for feline use only. It is important to prevent licking after application and to follow weight and age guidelines. Always inform your veterinarian of your cat’s overall health status and any other medications or treatments being used before administration.
