firenzenz Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 praziquantel 'Adtape' is a brand name for the same product. Search around here- someone may have some they got some as it can be hard to get without correct contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 It also depends what type of worm you may be worming for, but the common ones I have seen discus guys use are metro/prazi, levamisole is also good again depending on what you are treating for..

Bilbo Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Praziquantel sold as droncit. Fenbendazole sold as panacur is also very good but must only be used in food. Levamisole sold as a bird wormer called aviverm and a great general wormer. Metronidazole is not a dewormer but is effective against flagellates and some bacteria. Dont just crush a cat worming tablet unless you find out what is in it first. The wrong med may be worse than no med sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
