Directions for Use:
Revolution® for dogs is applied to the skin on the back
at the base of the dog's neck once a month. Remove the Revolution® tube
from its protective package. Holding the Revolution® tube
upright, firmly depress the cap to puncture the applicator seal, then remove
the cap. Apply the Revolution® contents in one spot and do
not massage in. The animal may be bathed or allowed to swim 2 hours
after the Revolution® medication is applied. Spot on applicators are
portioned based on the pet?s weight: puppies and kittens up to 5 lbs; cats
between 5.1-15 lbs; dogs between 5.1-10 lbs, 10.1-20 lbs, 20.1 ? 40 lbs and

Possible Side effects
Revolution® (selamectin) is generally well-tolerated by
dogs. Use of Revolution® in a small percentage of dogs and cats (less than 1%) has occasionally
been associated with a mild, transient hair loss at the application site. In a
small proportion of these cases, transient irritation at the application site
may also be observed. The hair loss and irritation are normally self-resolving,
but symptomatic treatment may be applicable in some circumstances. In studies,
<1% of cats and dogs experienced digestive upset.
