General Cure is staple and typically the first go to medicine when fish get sick
It treats a wide variety of parasitic diseases including velvet, anchor worm, fish lice, hole-in-head disease (Hexamite spp. & Spironucleus spp.), gill & skin flukes (Dactylogyrus spp. & Gyrodactylus spp.).
API General Cure contains two primary active ingredients: metronidazole and praziquantel. These chemicals work together to treat a range of parasitic infections in aquarium fish, including those caused by external and internal parasites like flukes, tapeworms, and flagellates. Metronidazole targets anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, while praziquantel is effective against flatworms and cestodes. This combination makes API General Cure a comprehensive treatment option for aquarium hobbyists to maintain fish health and address various parasitic issues.
