How long is necessary for Prazipro to do its work?

[FrenchAngel]

Hello! I have a question regarding the length of time required for Prazipro to kill flukes once dosed. I have heard that Prazipro is at its most potent during the first 24 hours, but this may not be the same as the necessary exposure time required to kill flukes and the other pests/worms that it is effective against. Perhaps it will successfully do its work in less then 24 hours? Like, say you were going to transfer your fish from one tank to another, but were going to dose prazipro in the first tank before you do the transfer. How long would be sufficient to leave the fish in the first tank after dosing the Prazipro to accomplish killing the flukes before transferring to the next tank?

A single treatment lasting 5-7 days is normally sufficient. Repeat as necessary. 2 doses usually is recommended to ensure the parasite is eradicated.

Each dose does its job in 24 hours.

While the first dose does its work within the first 24 hours or so on the attached flukes, what we are concerned about are any eggs that have been deposited within the fish's gills or other places, like within the eyes, that are somewhat difficult for the medication to reach. So, the second dose 5 days later, serves both as a preventative redose and newly hatched eliminator.

I usually do two weeks, adding an appropriate amount of prazi per water being changed.
