What is Revolution?

In dogs and puppies Revolution is indicated for the treatment, control and prevention of fleas (Ctenocephalides sp.); the prevention of heartworm disease (Dirofilaria immitis); the treatment and control of ear mites (Otodectes cynotis), sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei), and lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus setosus).

What is the active ingredient in Revolution and how does it work?

Revolution contains selamectin. Selemectin is parasite neurotoxin and works by interfering with the transmission of impulses along the parasites' nervous system. This causes paralysis of the parasite and its ultimate death. 

How often is Revolution applied?

To break the flea life cycle Revolution is applied directly to the skin every 4 weeks. By doing this Revolution ensures that fleas that jump onto your pet will stop feeding, become paralysed and die. In addition Revolution also kills flea larvae in the environment and so prevents reinfestation. To prevent heartworm infection Revolution should also be applied monthly.

From what age can Revolution be used?

Revolution is safe to use in puppies from 6 weeks of age.

Is Revolution water fast?
