Cats and Kittens (8 weeks of age or older)
Selarid : Kills adult flea eggs and prevents flea eggs from hatching for one month. Treats and controls ear mite infestations. Prevents heartworm disease. Treats and controls roundworm and intestinal hookworm infections in cats. Controls tick infestations due to Dermacentor variabilis (American Dog Tick). Easy to use monthly topical application.
Selamectin, the active ingredient in Selarid, is a macrocyclic lactone compound. These compounds effectively prevent the development of adult heartworms when administered to dogs and cats within one month of exposure to infective (L3 ) Dirofilaria immitis larvae.
Like most medications, Selarid has some side effects. The most common is hair loss at the site of application with or without inflammation (redness, flaking) in cats. Other side effects reported in cats include vomiting, diarrhea with or without blood, anorexia (decreased appetite), lethargy (sluggishness), salivation, rapid breathing, pruritus (itching), urticaria (welts, hives), erythema (skin redness), ataxia (incoordination), fever and rare instances of death. Stiff hair, clumping of hair, hair discoloration, or a slight powdery residue may be observed at the treatment site in some animals. These effects are temporary and do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the product.
Selamectin

Selarid Directions:
Remove the applicator from the outer pouch using scissors or fold along diagonal line to expose nick; tear back at nick.
Hold the applicator upright. Tap the narrow part of the applicator to ensure the contents remain within the main body of the applicator. Twist or snap back the tip.
Part the hair on the back of your pet at the base of the neck, in front of the shoulder blades, until the skin is visible.
Apply the tip of the Selarid applicator directly to the skin. Squeeze the applicator firmly 3-4 times in one spot until empty. Keep applicator compressed on the final squeeze to avoid drawing liquid back into applicator. Avoid contact between Selarid and your fingers.
While keeping applicator squeezed, drag it away from liquid and lift up to remove.
Ensure applicator is empty, then place in your normal household refuse for disposal.
The recommended minimum dose is 2.7 mg selamectin per pound (6 mg/kg) of body weight.

I like Selarid

Selarid is the only flea medication I use because my cat is an outside cat and it keeps her from getting worms.

Saves a trip to the Pet Store, when I could be having a beer...so I would say: ease of ordering and delivery.

Useless for fleas. Don't waste your money. Get Revolution. This says it contains selamectin, the same active ingredient as Revolution, which I have used for about 2 years. This was cheaper, so I tried it. Doesn't work at all. Apparently, my cat is allergic to fleas too. 3 weeks in and I thought it was a bad reaction to this; couldn't be fleas, right? Took him to the vets and cost $209 for rush treatment of fleas (Bravecto flea treatment, Convenia antibiotics, and sick animal visit). Yeah, they gouge you, but I was away the whole 3 weeks, otherwise, it wouldn't have got this bad.
