  • Dosage & Administration

    Revolution (selamectin) is a unique avermectin with activity against internal and external parasites: 

    • Application of Revolution to skin results in rapid absorption through the skin
    • Systemic circulation distributes selamectin throughout the body to protect against both internal and external parasites
    • Selamectin is also redistributed across the skin surface and accumulates in skin sebaceous glands
    • Sebaceous glands serve as reservoirs for selamectin, providing long-lasting protection against external parasites
    • Selamectin works on the nervous system of parasites where it interferes with the parasite nerve transmission resulting in parasite paralysis and death.

    To administer Revolution:

    • Press cap down firmly to break seal
    • Part hair and apply to skin in one spot on back of neck in front of the shoulder area.
