Metronidazole

Hello, where would one buy pure metronidazole? i know it is metroplex's main component but im looking for pure Metronidazole. thanks

 

Flagy antibiotic tablets.

 

available to buy over the counter?

 

It's available at any pharmacy but you would need a prescription as its scheduled.

 

I get mine from vets office

 

I've used one 500mg tablet per 75L.

 

Will this cause the tank to have to cycle again? And did you mean Flagyl?

 

Yes flagyl. If there is a high dosage then I would assume so but I did not notice a spike in ammonia due to a loss of beneficial bacteria. I got the tablets from a family member who uses 40 tablets to treat his koi pond which is about 3000L.

 

I have discus with hexamita, been trying 2 weeks to resolve it with alternative methods but still no success so im left with Metro.

 

Yes Hexamita is a Flagellate

 

Flagyl/ Metronodazole, does not kill your biological filter and you dont need cycle the tank
It does cause a slight yellowish tinge to the water which goes away with a water change

You can ask your vet or pharmacist if he know you well, they usually help you
Good luck with the Discus

 

Thanks everybody for the info, it was actually allot easier to get than i thought.
