How does Revolution Plus work?
Revolution Plus for Cats' active ingredients is Selamectin and Sarolaner that both interrupt a parasites' neuromuscular system and primary behavior.
Selamectin is an avermectin antiparasitic agent that effectively treats parasites inside and outside of felines by blocking the transmission of electrical activity in invertebrate neuromuscular systems in nematodes (e.g., roundworms) and muscle cells in arthropods leading to their paralysis and ultimately their death.
Sarolaner is an insecticide that blocks GABA- and glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nervous system of insects and acarine (e.g., mites and ticks). This blockage of these nerve receptors results in increased nerve stimulation and the death of the target parasite.
