Hi all,

Can levamisole & praziquantel be used during the same time, or do I need to wait until each full course is complete?

Cheers,
Russel

Rtraher,

Don't use them together.

You usually do your Levamisole treatment first, give it a bit of a break then do your Praziquantal.

There are plenty of links in this Section on the use of both medications.

Marg.

Marg is right.

Do not use them together. I am yet to see any evidence as to cross-reactivity, but you would certainly be exposing your fish to high levels of toxicity.

at aquarium industries we use the two together but its usually done with daily half water changes and extreme caution

To be on the safe side I would still say treat them seperately. Just my opinion. I don't like mixing medications.
