I know API General Cure has the active ingredients of both Metro and Prazi in it. What I don’t know is at what concentration these active ingredients are.

I have General Parasite Cure which is advertised as PURE Metronidazole and PURE praziquantel.

Does anyone know if I can use the General Parasite Cure orally as in to mix w frozen food and, if so, what dose I should use? Anyone? HELP!!!

API General Cure contains 250 mg metronidazole and 75 mg praziquantel per packet.

The product you have is another company's version, with a blatant ripoff name.
I don't see where they list relative amounts of the two medications in their product (on ebay).
You need this information in order to compare dosages.
IF the two meds are in the same proportion as in GC, and IF they are pure components as claimed, you'd use 325 mg of it to equal one packet of GC.
But those are two big IFs, and I personally wouldn't take their word for it.

I got it off Everything Aquatic online because I live in Canada and can’t get the actual meds you all use even delivered here. They have dosing directions on their site for dosing into the water column. While the name is a blatant ripoff, I don’t see anything wrong with what they’re doing

I feel your pain since I also live in Canada. But believe it or not, I was able to order API GC off Amazon.com and shipped to Canada. Just gotta keep looking
