• Minimum Dose: Apply topically once monthly, providing a minimum of 2.7 mg selamectin per pound (6 mg/kg) of body weight.
• Open the Tube Correctly: Hold the tube upright and twist the cap to break the seal; the cap remains on the tube during application.

• Do Not Massage or Wet Coat: Never massage the product into the skin and never apply when the cat's coat is wet; allow to dry naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does Revolt Topical Solution (Taupe Box) treat and prevent in large cats?

Ans: Revolt Taupe Box is a once-a-month treatment applied to the skin that prevents heartworm, kills fleas, blocks flea eggs for 30 days, and treats ear mites and intestinal worms. It is approved for cats and kittens over 8 weeks old weighing 15.1 to 22 lbs.

Q2: How does the Taupe Box differ from the Blue Box?

Ans: Taupe Box contains 60 mg selamectin in a 1 mL tube, which is the highest strength for cats. Blue Box has 45 mg in a 0.75 mL tube for medium-sized cats. Both offer the same parasite protection when dosed correctly. Choose based on your cat's weight.

Q3: My large cat weighs more than 22 lbs. Can I still use Revolt?

Ans: Yes. For cats over 22 lbs, an appropriate combination of Revolt tube sizes should be used to achieve the correct total dose of 2.7 mg/lb selamectin as directed by your veterinarian. Never rely on a single Taupe Box tube alone if your cat's weight exceeds 22 lbs.

Q4: How does Revolt compare to Revolution for Cats in the same weight range?

Ans: Both products contain selamectin at the same concentration and minimum dose of 2.7 mg/lb, providing identical multi-parasite coverage. Both are FDA-approved prescription topicals applied once monthly. Revolt is a cost-efficient alternative that delivers equivalent therapeutic protection to Revolution for Cats.

Q5: Is Revolt Taupe Box safe for pregnant or lactating large cats?

Ans: In studies, selamectin showed no adverse effects in pregnant or nursing cats across more than 15 breeds and was also safe for breeding males. Always consult a veterinarian before using it in breeding cats or dogs.
