Revolt Topical Solution for Cats, 5.1-15 lbs, (Blue Box), 6 Doses (6-mos. supply)

Your veterinarian is best suited to discuss and recommend appropriate medications for your cat. It is important to discuss your pet's health history with your veterinarian so he/she can decide if Revolt® is right for your animal. Revolt® should not be used in sick, debilitated or underweight animals. If your cat is older than six months of age, your veterinarian may decide to test him/her for heartworm disease before prescribing Revolt®. Cats infected with adult heartworms can be given Revolt® to prevent further infections.

Your veterinarian will recommend the appropriate dose for your cat based on your animal's body weight. You should not administer Revolt® to cats younger than 8 weeks of age. Revolt is available in different dose sizes for cats of different weights.

If you forget to apply a monthly dose of Revolt®, immediately apply Revolt, resume monthly applications, and notify your veterinarian.

Contact your veterinarian if you administer more than the prescribed amount of Revolt®.

1. Remove the Revolt® tube from its protective package.
2. While holding the tube in an upright position, twist the cap to break the seal. The cap will remain on the tube.
3. Revolt® should be applied to the top of the neck between the base of the skull and the shoulder blades.
4. Apply the tip of the Revolt® tube directly to the skin by parting the hair. Squeeze the tube firmly 3 to 4 times in one spot until it is empty. Keep the tube compressed on the final squeeze to avoid drawing liquid back into tube. Avoid contact between Barrier® and your fingers. Do not massage Revolt® into the skin. Do not apply when the haircoat is wet. Do not apply to broken skin. Revolt® contains alcohol. Stiff hair, clumping of hair, hair discoloration, or a slight powdery residue may be observed at the application site in some animals. These effects are usually temporary and do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the product.

Yes. Bathing or shampooing the cat 2 hours after treatment will not reduce the effectiveness of Revolt® against fleas. Bathing or shampooing the cat 24 hours after treatment will not reduce the effectiveness of Revolt® against heartworm.

You should avoid contact with application site when wet. You may hold or play with your pet any time after the area on which Revolt® was applied is dry.

Revolt® kills adult fleas and prevents flea eggs from hatching. You may occasionally see a few fleas on cats treated with Revolt® but more than 98% of adult fleas are killed within 36 hours. Immature stages of the flea called pupae may be present in your pets environment (yard, flooring, carpet, bedding, etc.). These pupae are not killed by parasiticides (including Revolt®) and as such may emerge as adult fleas. These adult fleas may hop onto your pet at any time. They must be exposed to Revolt® on your cat before being killed. It can take from 3 to 5 weeks (or longer depending on environmental conditions) for most fleas to complete their 4-stage life cycle (egg, larvae, pupae, and adult) and reach the adult stage before being seen on your pet. Due to the presence of immature flea stages in infested environments it can take up to 2 to 3 monthly applications for Revolt® to maximally control the infestation of fleas in the environment. Once the flea population is controlled you will be less likely to see fleas.

What are the possible side effects of Revolt®?

Like all medicines, Revolt® has some side effects. The most common is hair loss at the site of application with or without inflammation (redness, flaking) in cats. Other side effects reported in cats include vomiting, diarrhea with or without blood, anorexia (decreased appetite), lethargy (sluggishness), salivation, rapid breathing, pruritus (itching), urticaria (welts, hives), erythema (skin redness), ataxia (incoordination), fever and rare instances of death. If you have additional questions about possible side effects, talk to your veterinarian.

In well-controlled clinical studies, selamectin was used safely in cats receiving other veterinary products such as vaccines, anthelmintics, antiparasitics, antibiotics, steroids, collars, shampoos and dips. Tell your veterinarian about all medicines you have given your cat in the past, and any medicines that you are planning to use with Revolt®. This should include other medicines that you can get without a prescription. Your veterinarian may want to check that all of your cat's medicines can be given together.

Revolt® is flammable. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition. Store below 86 F. After application, empty tubes can be placed in your normal household refuse for disposal.
