Selehold is a monthly topical treatment for cats that offers extended protection against internal and external parasites like fleas and ear mites. Due to the common ingredient Selamectin with the same composition, Selehold is a generic alternative to Revolution. It is an economic substitute for Revolution.
It acts as an ovicidal for fleas for three weeks and also kills tick larvae, it prevents flea and tick infestation. The topical solution treats infection from internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms. One application provides one-month of prevention from heartworm infection and treats biting lice, ear mites.
Selehold can be given to cats above 6 week of age and it is safe for pregnant and lactating cats. Treatment should be applied once every month for extended protection.
How it works
Selamectin is the active ingredient of Selehold that attacks the nerve cells of parasite causing neuromuscular paralysis and muscular contraction that eventually causes its termination. Selamectin works against both internal and surface parasite infection
Once the spot on treatment is applied on the cat’s skin; it gets absorbed and travels through bloodstream, intestines. Selamectin in bloodstream will prevent infection from heartworm and disrupt internal worms like intestinal hookworms and roundworms.

Have A Question?
If a cat has worms, do I need a seperate dewormer or will this application work to rid them of worms and prevent from coming back?

Will the Seresto collar need to be removed while using Selehold? What I am asking, would there be a risk to using both products at once? I am needing this to be used to treat ear mites primarily for a couple of months. Thank you in advance.

My Veterinarian stated that I can use this product to treat ear mites. The kitties also have Seresto collars and she stated it will not interact with the ingredients in Seresto. Just to confirm this information, since you are Pharmacists. Thank you.

Selamectin/Selahold is sold as a Revolution generic. However, nowhere in the literature that comes with Selahold does it state that it controls ticks. The literature for Revolution also does not refer to ticks (Revolution Plus does refer to ticks). Have I been mistaken all these years, first with Revolution and now with Selahold in terms of expecting tick control?

No, both Selehold and Revolution are not effective at controlling ticks. They are effective in the treatment and prevention of flea infestations, prevention of heartworm disease, treatment of ear mites, biting lice, sarcoptic mange (dogs only), and intestinal worms (adult roundworms and hookworms in cats and adult roundworms in dogs)
