Stronghold is the European/Australian label for
Revolution in the USA. It is made by the drug company Pfizer. Revolution and
Stronghold are the EXACT same drug, just labeled and approved for different
countries. You need to IMMEDIATELY wash your cat, ASAP! The drug continues to
seep into the blood stream for 3 days after being applied! This COULD be an
adverse reaction!
Here is the website for Revolution, and the PDF
file of all the indications of the drug:
SAFETY
REVOLUTION has been tested safe in over 100 different pure and mixed breeds of healthy dogs and over 15 different pure and mixed breeds of healthy cats, including pregnant and lactating females, breeding males and females, puppies six weeks of age and older, kittens eight weeks of age and older, and avermectin-sensitive collies. A kitten, estimated to be 5–6 weeks old (0.3 kg), died 8 1⁄2 hours after receiving a single treatment of REVOLUTION at the recommended dosage. The kitten displayed clinical signs which included muscle spasms, salivation and neurological signs. The kitten was a stray with an unknown history and was malnourished and underweight (see PRECAUTIONS). ADVERSE REACTIONS Pre-approval clinical trials. Following treatment with REVOLUTION, transient localized alopecia with or without inflammation at or near the site of application was observed in approximately 1% of 691 treated cats. Other signs observed rarely (≤0.5% of 1743 treated cats and dogs) included vomiting, loose stool or diarrhea with or without blood, anorexia, lethargy, salivation, tachypnea, and muscle tremors.Post-approval experienceIn addition to the aforementioned clinical signs that were reported in pre-approval clinical trials, there have been reports of pruritis, urticaria, erythema, ataxia, fever, and rare reports of death.
