Not for Diamondback, but you can use it to get CP from a regular pharmacy like Walgreens. They may have to special order it thru a compounding pharmacy.

"Human" pharmacy chloroquine will be much more expensive. Maybe 15x to 20x. My first prescription from a "human" doctor cost about $20 for 7x 500mg pills or 2.1g of chloroquine. My prescription through Diamondback was about $45 for 75g.

@darian It's usable, but see below:
In most cases, 250 mg tablets have an equivalence of 150 mg chloroquine base, and 500 mg tablets have an equivalence of 300 mg chloroquine base. Although the purity mentioned above is generally accurate, it would be best to verify the chloroquine base contained in the tablets of your choice in order to be able to properly calculate the exact dosage. Keep in mind if you decide to use the tablets, there are some inactive ingredients, which you may have to deal with, e.g., Camauba Wax, Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, Dibasic Calcium Phosphate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Polyethylene Glycol, Polysorbate 80, Pregelatinized Starch, Sodium Starch Glycolate, Stearic Acid, and Titanium Dioxide. And as mentioned earlier in this chapter there are occasions where some medicines are not in their pure form (100% pure), i.e., mixed with a substance called a 'carrier,' which should be noted on its label. If so its potency is reduced, and if not sure about the exact amount of medication needed, suggest contacting a more experienced aquarist for the way to resolve this situation.

@Humblefish Couple more question pls. I have a permanent qt that previously used copper. After qt'ing my last batch of fishes I did a 90 pct water change but there's still small amount of copper left in the water. Less than 0.1 of copper. Will it have any bad affect if I add Cp to it?


For the tablets, do I just crush it n mix with warm water before adding to the tank?

Thx in advance

No; you can technically mix CP & copper.

You can or just put the tablets in your QT filter. They will slowly dissolve there.

Just remember 1-250mg tablet only yields 150mg worth of usable chloroquine. So, you will need to overdose to compensate for that.

Man! I have talked to about 15 different vets, including some aquatic specialist. None of which will fill this for me! Any ideas? I referenced the numerous articles and they did not help me.

It's not easy. I have a friend who has a friend that is a vet. Another friend found a couple large animal vets (horse, this IS Lexington! :) ) who would write a prescription. It took me 4 months to track a prescription down. Keep looking you'll find one sooner or later.
