Revolution Plus® Topical Solution for Cats

Revolution Plus is a veterinary topical that protects cats against several parasites. It combines two active agents to prevent heartworm disease and treat common external and intestinal parasites. You can order with US shipping from Canada, and pricing may be lower than local cash rates without insurance.

What Revolution Plus Is and How It Works

Revolution Plus® contains selamectin and sarolaner. Selamectin targets heartworm larvae, ear mites, and certain intestinal worms. Sarolaner is an isoxazoline that affects flea and tick nervous systems. Together, the treatment prevents heartworm disease and kills fleas and ticks in cats.

This medicine is applied to the skin once a month. It spreads over the skin surface and concentrates in the oil glands. Parasites are exposed through contact and feeding. Use exactly as directed on the label or by your veterinarian.

For flea problems, see our overview of Flea Infestation. If ticks are a concern in your area, review the basics on Tick Infestation. For prevention of heartworm, learn more about Heartworm Disease. Ear mites are a common issue in shelters and multi-cat homes; see Ear Mite Infestation for symptoms and care basics.

Who It’s For

This medicine is for cats and kittens eight weeks of age and older, meeting the minimum weight on the pack. It is intended for indoor and outdoor cats at risk of fleas, ticks, ear mites, roundworms, hookworms, and heartworm exposure.

As a monthly revolution flea treatment for cats, it is used across seasons when parasites are active. Cats with a history of neurologic disorders may be at higher risk for adverse reactions to isoxazolines, so discuss risks with your veterinarian.

Dosage and Usage

Follow the label dosage by body weight. Use one tube every month. Part the hair at the base of the skull until skin is visible. Place the tip directly on the skin and squeeze the entire tube contents at one spot.

Do not massage into the coat. Avoid contact with the eyes or mouth. Prevent your cat or other pets from licking the site until dry. Wait before bathing or shampooing, per label directions.

Do not combine with other ectoparasiticides unless advised by your veterinarian. If unsure, consult the official label. The phrase revolution plus topical solution refers to this prescription spot-on form for cats; use only the strength that matches your cat’s weight.

Some households prefer a rapid flea knockdown tablet for new infestations; see Fast Flea Tablets for short-term assistance as advised by your vet.

Strengths and Forms

This product is a single-use topical tube for monthly application. Packs are commonly available in 3-dose and 6-dose cartons. Color-coded strengths correspond to your cat’s weight range:

• For small cats and kittens: 2.8 to 5.5 lb
• For medium cats: 5.6 to 11.0 lb
• For large cats: 11.1 to 22.0 lb

Availability may vary by pack size. Do not confuse it with revolution for cats, which does not include the tick component found in this combination.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a monthly dose, apply it when remembered and resume a monthly schedule. Do not double up to make up for a missed application. Consistent monthly use supports continuous parasite protection.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tubes in the original foil until use. Keep at room temperature away from heat sources and open flame. The solvent is flammable; keep away from sparks and smoking.

Protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and other animals. If traveling, carry the carton or a copy of your prescription. Pack doses in a sealed pouch to prevent leaks. Dispose of used tubes safely.

For multi-pet households, separate treated animals until the application site is dry. If your cat is frequently outdoors, set calendar reminders to maintain a steady schedule.

Benefits

This combination covers multiple parasites with one monthly application. It prevents heartworm disease, treats ear mites, and controls roundworms and hookworms. It also kills several tick species and breaks the flea life cycle.

As a revolution flea medicine for cats, it simplifies care by addressing common pests together. Many owners find a single monthly spot-on easier than coordinating several separate products.

Side Effects and Safety

• Application site effects: temporary hair changes or mild skin irritation
• Digestive signs: soft stool, decreased appetite, or drooling after grooming
• Behavioral signs: transient lethargy or restlessness

Serious reactions are uncommon. Isoxazolines have been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including tremors and seizures. Cats with a history of neurologic disorders may be at higher risk. Stop use and contact your veterinarian if severe or unusual signs occur. Do not use in cats with known hypersensitivity to components.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell your veterinarian about all medicines and supplements your cat receives. Use caution if your cat is on other parasite control products. There are no widely documented major drug-drug interactions, but some combinations may increase adverse effects. Safety in pregnant or lactating cats has not been established; your vet may recommend alternative strategies.

What to Expect Over Time

Fleas and ticks typically decrease after correct application. Continued monthly use helps prevent re-infestations picked up from the environment or other animals. Parasite pressure may vary by season and region, so maintain regular protection throughout risk periods.

If you are seeking broad coverage in one product, revolution flea and tick for cats is designed to address common threats with a monthly schedule. Set reminders on your phone or calendar to avoid missed months.

Compare With Alternatives

Some cats may benefit from a different spectrum of control. If your veterinarian recommends a combination with tapeworm coverage and broad ectoparasite control, consider NexGard Combo. For topical deworming targeting tapeworms, roundworms, and hookworms only, see Profender. Your prescriber can advise which option aligns with your cat’s risks.

Pricing and Access

We display current options so you can compare packs and the revolution plus price before ordering. Canadian pricing with US delivery from Canada may offer savings versus local cash-pay. Taxes, dispensing, and prescriber requirements can affect your total at checkout.

Looking for ways to save over time? Check multi-dose packs and set refill reminders. See any seasonal offers on our Current Promotions. For buying guidance, our article on Buy Pet Medications reviews common options.

Availability and Substitutions

Stock can vary by strength and pack size. If an item is unavailable, your veterinarian may recommend a comparable prescription or a staged plan using separate products. Do not substitute dog products for cats.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This treatment may be a good fit for multi-parasite coverage in a single monthly dose. It suits indoor cats with occasional outdoor exposure and outdoor cats with ongoing risk. Kittens must meet the minimum age and weight on the carton. Cats with seizure history or neurologic disorders may need alternatives.

To manage costs, consider multi-month packs and align refills with regular checkups. You can buy Revolution Plus for your cat and set calendar reminders for monthly use. Families sometimes choose a 6-pack to reduce per-dose costs across a season.

For kittens not yet eligible for this combination, talk to your vet about starter options like Revolution® for Kittens. For roundworm or hookworm specifics, your vet may add an oral dewormer; see Interceptor Flavour Tabs as a reference option.
