Revolution Plus® Topical Solution for Cats

This is a monthly prescription topical for cats that helps prevent fleas, ticks, ear mites, and heartworm. It offers US shipping from Canada with straightforward checkout, even without insurance. This page explains what it is, how it’s used, and safety basics.

What Revolution Plus Is and How It Works

Border Free Health connects U.S. patients with licensed Canadian partner pharmacies; prescriptions are verified with prescribers before dispensing.

Fleas, Ticks, and ear mites affect many cats year-round. Revolution Plus® combines two proven agents: selamectin and sarolaner. Selamectin, a macrocyclic lactone, prevents heartworm disease and treats certain intestinal parasites. Sarolaner, an isoxazoline, targets fleas and ticks. Together, the treatment covers multiple parasites with one monthly dose.

Zoetis Revolution Plus for Cats is labeled to kill fleas, treat and control tick infestations, prevent heartworm disease, treat ear mite infestations, and treat roundworms and hookworms. It acts on parasite nerve and muscle function, which helps stop infestations at the source. This medicine is applied to the skin at the base of the neck, where it spreads across the coat. Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions and the approved label.

Who It’s For

This therapy is for cats and kittens at least 8 weeks of age who need broad parasite protection. It supports households dealing with Heartworm prevention, Fleas, Ticks, ear mites, and certain intestinal parasites. Revolution Plus Cat Flea and Tick Treatment aligns with label indications for feline use.

Do not use it in cats with known hypersensitivity to selamectin or sarolaner. Use caution in cats with a history of neurologic disorders. Discuss current conditions, pregnancy or nursing status, and all medicines with a veterinarian before starting this medicine.

Dosage and Usage

Use the product exactly as directed on the label and by your prescriber. Typically, it is given once each month. Part the fur at the base of the skull, open one applicator, and apply the full contents directly to the skin in one spot. Do not massage it in. Avoid contact with the treated area until dry.

Revolution Plus Topical Solution for Cats is designed for single-use, unit-dosed tubes matched to your cat’s body weight. After application, wash your hands. Do not bathe your cat for the first day after dosing. If your cat spends time outdoors or lives with other pets, keep up a consistent monthly schedule.

Strengths and Forms

This product comes as single-dose pipettes in several weight-based presentations. Common retail packs are 3 or 6 tubes. Availability may vary.

• Kittens and small cats: 2.8–5.5 lb
• Medium cats: Revolution Plus for Cats 5.6-11 lbs
• Large cats: 11.1–22 lb

Each weight band contains specific amounts of selamectin and sarolaner calibrated for that range. For reference, published strengths include combinations such as 15 mg/2.5 mg, 30 mg/5 mg, or 60 mg/10 mg per tube, depending on weight. Use only the tube that matches your cat’s current weight.

Missed Dose and Timing

If a monthly dose is missed, give it when remembered and resume a regular monthly schedule. Do not give two doses at the same time or closer than directed. Keeping a calendar, phone reminder, or refill alert can help maintain steady protection through the year.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store the tubes at room temperature in the original packaging, away from heat and direct light. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Do not puncture or open a tube until you are ready to apply it. For travel, pack the sealed tubes and the carton leaflet. If you fly, place them in your liquids bag if required by security. Keep your prescription details accessible in case authorities request documentation. When you return, store any remaining tubes in a safe, dry place.

Benefits

This monthly class of parasite control simplifies care by combining broad coverage into one dose. It targets fleas at multiple life stages, treats tick species commonly found on cats, helps prevent heartworm disease, and treats ear mites and certain intestinal worms. Many households find a single monthly application easier to remember than multiple separate treatments. Using a single prescription for multiple parasites can also reduce confusion during refills.

Side Effects and Safety

Most cats tolerate this medicine well. Some may experience temporary skin effects at the application site. Gastrointestinal symptoms can occur in a small number of cats.

• Application site itching or hair loss
• Skin redness or flaking
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Decreased appetite
• Lethargy

Serious reactions are uncommon but possible. Cats with a history of seizures or other neurologic disorders may be at higher risk for neurologic signs. Stop use and seek veterinary advice right away if your cat shows tremors, incoordination, or seizures. Keep the product away from eyes and mouth. Do not apply to broken skin. If an ear mite problem persists after treatment, contact your veterinarian for follow-up care.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell your veterinarian about all medicines and supplements your cat receives. Combining multiple flea or tick treatments at the same time may increase the chance of side effects. Use caution when giving other isoxazoline or macrocyclic lactone products alongside this therapy unless your prescriber advises it. The official label provides the most reliable guidance; follow it closely.

What to Expect Over Time

With regular monthly use, the treatment helps control fleas and ticks and prevents heartworm disease. Environmental control also matters. Washing bedding, vacuuming, and cleaning common rest areas can support better results. If your cat ventures outdoors, consistent monthly dosing is even more important. Revolution Plus Flea and Tick for Cats reflects a prevention-first approach that works best when maintained throughout the year.

Compare With Alternatives

Some families consider single-ingredient selamectin as an alternative. You can review Revolution For Cat for a narrower spectrum option. For young pets starting protection early, see Revolution For Puppies Kittens and discuss when to transition to broader coverage. Another modern choice combines multiple agents for fleas, ticks, and internal parasites; learn more in our article on Combo For Cats. Your veterinarian can help choose the best fit for your cat’s risks and lifestyle.

Pricing and Access

Canadian-sourced options can offer value for self-pay pet owners. Revolution Plus Price varies by pack size and weight band. You can review current Canadian pricing with US delivery from Canada and compare the overall cost of a 3- or 6-dose pack. If you are looking for a coupon, check our current offers on Promotions. Checkout is encrypted for your security.

Availability and Substitutions

Stock can change by weight range and pack size. If an item is unavailable, your prescriber may recommend a comparable alternative or a shorter pack while you wait. Do not switch parasite control products without veterinary guidance, especially if your cat has other medical conditions.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This medicine is for cats and kittens at least 8 weeks old and above the minimum weight listed on the label. It may not be suitable for cats with certain neurologic conditions or known allergies to its ingredients. If your cat receives other parasite control products, ask your veterinarian whether to continue or pause them.

To reduce costs and maintain protection, consider a 6-dose supply if prescribed. Set digital reminders so you apply on the same day each month. If you care for multiple pets, labeling each tube before use helps prevent mix-ups. Keep a simple log of dates applied and the lot number from each carton for your records.
