How can I store Revolt (selamectin) Topical for Cats?
Your empty applicator may be disposed of in regular household garbage once it has been used. Keep at a temperature below 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
A minimum dosage of 2.7 mg selamectin for every pound of body weight (6 mg/kg) is advised. 1) Using scissors, cut the applicator out of its outer pouch along the diagonal line to expose the nick before tearing back at the nick. 2) Make sure the applicator is erect. To keep the contents of the applicator within the main body of the applicator, tap the narrow section of the applicator. Twist or snap the tip back. 3) Part the hair on your pet's back at the base of the neck, in front of the shoulder blades, exposing the skin. 4) Directly apply the Revolt applicator's tip to the skin. Squeeze the applicator 3-4 times in one location until it's completely empty. To avoid pulling liquid back into the applicator, keep the applicator squeezed on the final squeeze. 5) Don't let Revolt come into touch with your fingertips.
