There is no point in moving your betta out of the tank (or any other fish).  You are best to continue to dose the tank until you can see the situation improving/cleared up.  Vacuum everything really well during each water change as you will suck out anything dead and dying and be sure not to use any of the equipment on other tanks unless it is well sterilised.  You can sterilise the equipment used by adding one cup of household bleach to half a bucket of water and soaking equipment in it for around half an hour.  Then rinse out the equipment until you can no longer smell the bleach.

What are you dosing? If they are visible, they are likely to be Callamanus nematodes, which need Levamisole as treatment. Unfortunately Callamanus can take a couple of months of treatment, as they are very good at spreading and can be tricky to kill.
