I need medicine to treat camallanus!!

[sweenema]

I need to find a place to order levamisole hydrochloride, and everywhwre is on back order. I have 55 gal freshwater planted tank with a lobster and a few remaining fish who were lucky enough to tolerate the medicated food. I found that levamisole can also be used to treat the entire tank which makes it that much more appealing. any help locating this elusive drug is appreciated, or any other course of action to treat this nightmare of an infection is appreciated.

Treatment:

Treat with Internal Parasite Guard, Pipzine, Disco-Worm, Trichlorfon or Fluke-Tabs as well as a medicated food to prevent a bacterial infection.

A search of the big names such as dr. foster and smith and marine depot easily found medications from this. From reading around the net, the necessity for levamisole has diminished as there are other medications that work.

Although if your around a farm supply store you can ask about levamisole. Levasole (levamisole hydrochloride) is a broad spectrum anthelmintic and is effective against the following
nematode infections in cattle and sheep.
Stomach Worms: (Haemonchus, Trichostronglylus, Ostertagia)
Intestinal Worms: (Trichostrongylus, Cooperia, Nematodirus, Bunostomum, Oesophagostomum) (Chabertia-
sheep only) and
Lung worms: (Dictyocaulus)

The treatment dosage is 1.5 ml of a 7.5% solution in 2 gallons of water. If one dissolves one of these five
gram packets in 3 ounces of water, that’s about a 5% solution. Two milliliters of this 5% solution will
treat 2 gallons of tank water. Eighteen to twenty drops makes a milliliter or about one medicine dropper
full. One ml per gallon. This provides a 15 milligrams per liter treatment bath.


And yes I plagiarized most of that from the net
