Revolution Topical for Cats kills adult fleas and prevents flea eggs from hatching for one month and is indicated for the prevention and control of flea infestations, prevention of heartworm disease, and the treatment and control of ear mite infestations. Revolution is also indicated for the treatment and control of roundworms and intestinal hookworms. After applying directly to their skin, Revolution provides protection for up to 1 month. Reapply each month for year-round safety. The flea treatment for cats also helps to prevent flea eggs from hatching, keeping them protected from future infestations.How it Works

After topically applying Revolution to your cat, it begins to enter the bloodstream through the skin, going to work at preventing parasitic worms and heartworm disease. Selamectin, the active ingredient, is then present in the bloodstream and tissue of the cat. Selamectin effectively kills adult fleas and American dog ticks, prevents hatching of flea eggs, and works to treat sarcoptic mange and ear mites.
