Male with Possible Belly Ache | 6 comments (6 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

I also have medication called Hexamita (none / 0) (#2)

so maybe I'll try that instead. I'm currently using Paragon, but maybe I'll do a water change and try this to see if that helps since he's still not eating, although he's still trying.

You are probably wise to stay with the (none / 0) (#4)

Paragon, especially if your guppy is looking better. Does it also have an absorbable anti-biotic?

Charles Harrison found out, inadvertantly, that the anthelmintics even were somewhat effective with Hexamita.

I haven't mentioned that or his original use against hydra (until squack raised the question) because after a while it sounds like those anthelmintics are effective against anything. There are a bunch of things which they aren't supposed to be effective against.

As soon as a product claims to be able to do everything except sing the Andalusian national anthem, it is time to be extra careful. :)

Paragon's Ingredients (none / 0) (#5)

Dimethyl (2,2,2,-Triloro-1-Hydroxyethyl) Phosphonate, Nitrofurazone, NaCl, Isoniazid, Neomycin and Kanamycin Sulfate.

I was surprised to see the NaCl in it, but then again we've spoken so much on its uses I guess I shouldn't be.

Salt is in almost all medicines. Maybe it is (none / 0) (#6)

used as filler to pact the medicine in. As we know, it seems to also have some therapeutic effect on the skin.
