Dogs and Cats

Revolution® is a systemically acting, broad-spectrum parasiticide that has a well defined safety profile combined with excellent efficacy to help protect your dog and cat against a wide variety of parasites. Revolution® enters the bloodstream through the skin. Concentrations of Revolution® in the blood and tissues prevents heartworm disease in cats and dogs. Revolution® selectively redistributes from the blood to the skin and other tissues, where it provides protection against fleas, flea eggs, and ear mites in cats and dogs.
