Hi there, I have sick looking discus so i thought i would worm all of my discus (10 various sizes). I put all of them in hospital tank but instead of putting in the worming tablet i put in AQUARI-CYCLINE.

My question is, will it harm my other discus (it might help the sick looking one) by using this product on them rather than the AQUA WORM tablets.

You need to identify what the active ingredient is of the medication you use. then you will be able to make a better judgment on what the medication will do to your fish. I dont know the medication but if it's a worming med it might be praziquantel-based.
I really doubt it'll kill your discus but you should still be careful with playing around with meds and not knowing what they actually are.
Worming would probably be the last thing that I would suspect if my discus look sick. I'm 99% your problem isn't worms. It's more likely to be hex, water params or gill flukes.
