Dosage amounts for avitrol plus

[Godly3vil]

My friend who has a problem with camallanus worms has finally got his a into g and got some avitrol plus as this is the only product containing levamisole that we have available locally, what we cant seem to figure out is the correct dosage amounts? It says on the box it has 8.48mg/mL of levamisole?

Any help will be appreciated.

I got levamisole from the LFS as a bird wormer (Aviverm).

Here are my notes on what I use to do:

Treatment:

(Treat with lights off)

1 - Perform a largish water change before treatment.

2 - Treat once for 24hrs.

3 - Do a largish water change & vacuum to remove worms.

4 - Return tank to normal lighting / feeding / cleaning cycle.

5 - Treat again 5-7 days after a water change.

6 - Do another water change + vacuum.

7 - Treat a 3rd time after 1-2 weeks.

8 - Do another water change.

TREATMENT COMPLETE

Dosage:

1ml of 23% Aviverm per 115ltrs (2mg/l)

This is how I have treated my fish many times with success. Even clown loaches with worms, aka. skinny disease.

Its easier to do in a hospital tank.

search on Jaide and Avitrol, she had a thread with some advice being given for that exact drug. It isn't the same as levamisole if I remember correctly, has other stuff in. I seem to remember some of her fish died too

The thread for that is here: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=61578

I used not even half the recommended dose and a week later half my fish died. I can't conclusively say it was the avitrol as it happened a week later but it's the only thing I can think of that could have caused the tank to crash like that.
