Levamisole is an often recommended medication for treating parasites, especially camallanus worm. Unfortunately this medication must be dosed low enough to keep the fish safe and it does not always kill the parasites. More often than not it will only paralyze the parasite. This is why it is critical to dose carefully and to do the recommended deep gravel vacs to clean up paralyzed parasites. One added benefit of treating with Levamisole is that it gives the immune system a boost and the fish may appear to be healthy suddenly.

Fenbendazole, has a wide spectrum of anthelmintic action, is active against nematodes, trematodes and cestodes parasitizing in animals. Fenbendazole is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The mechanism of action of fenbendazole is a metabolic disorder, inhibition of fumarate reductase activity and the synthesis of ATP parasite, which leads to the death of helminths. According to the degree of toxic effects on the body, it belongs to low-hazard substances, in the recommended doses it does not have a mutagenic, carcinogenic and locally irritating effect. It is excreted mainly with feces.
Application: Dehelmintization of animals during dictiocauliasis, hematosis, ostertagia, trichostrongiasis, nematodirosis, cooperiosis, esophagostomiasis, moniesiosis and fascioliasis.

Storage
1 vial of the drug contains the active substance:
benzylpenicillin sodium salt - 1,000,000 IU.
Pharmacological properties
ATC vet classification code QJ01- antibacterial veterinary drugs for systemic use. QJ 01 CE 01 - Benzylpenicillin.
Benzylpenicillin sodium is a bactericidal antibiotic of the penicillin series, which has a detrimental effect on gram-positive and some gram-negative microorganisms: Streptococcus spp . Staphylococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Neisseria spp., Pasteurella spp. and other.
The mechanism of action of the drug is to inhibit the activity of enzymes for the synthesis of peptidoglycan, which is the basis of the cell wall of microorganisms, which leads to delayed reproduction and growth of bacteria.
Penicillin when administered intramuscularly is rapidly absorbed into the blood and distributed in body fluids and tissues; penetrates into the cerebrospinal fluid in small quantities. The maximum concentration of benzylpenicillin in the blood is observed after 30-60 minutes. introduction. In 3-4 hours only traces of an antibiotic are found in blood. To maintain a concentration high enough for a therapeutic effect, injections should be given every 3-4 hours. When administered intravenously, the concentration of penicillin in the blood decreases rapidly. Benzylpenicillin sodium is practically not metabolized in the liver and is excreted unchanged through the kidneys.
