Revolution (Selamectin)
Revolution (Selamectin) is a broad-spectrum parasiticide specially formulated for dogs and cats. It provides comprehensive protection against various parasites, including fleas, heartworms, ear mites, sarcoptic mange, and certain types of ticks. Selamectin, the active ingredient in Revolution, works by interfering with the parasite’s nervous system, leading to paralysis and subsequent death, which helps keep your pet free from dangerous infestations and infections.
