    liquid flagyl

    has anyone used this syrup form instead of the usual tablet? it has orange flavour ..somehow it reminds me to cointreau

    i dosed at normal rate 250mg/10gl and my fish seem to act bit different ... or is it just me being paranoid well i guess i just keep my eyes open

    Orange flavour says to me artificial colour additives, for that reason alone I would not use it.

    DiscusMad, isnt the IV fluid clear/opague???

    most doctors are quite sympathetic when you explain what it is for ...
