Chloroquine Phosphate: Sourcing and costs

[Martingale]

So I know the sticky's mention needing a prescription and where to get it once prescribed, but I've also recently read and noticed diamondback is now wedgwood and there's a bump in the cost?

Anyone want to share any details on the cost and where to reliably source CP from? Is a prescription still the only way?

You can try

Chloroquine Phosphate

Above 90% purity, which should be ok

Not only has the price gone up on Wedgwood, they no longer have CP in powder form (at least as of last summer). They have the pill form which has to be crushed. And then the binders used in the pills have to be accounted for when weighing. I have two refills with them that i'm just letting expire. I'v since ordered from NFP linked above with no script and have used it successfully (black molly tested) on five fish.

They don't seem to mention the purity. Did they make any statement regarding this?

What is your dosing per gallon with the CP from the above?

I have used both protocols successfully. Hardy fish that are eating good, I prefer Protocol1. On more delicate fish or fish that are being picky eaters, I prefer protocol2 as there are less disturbances like water changes and the bio filter helps with the extra food that doesn't get removed.

Good luck finding any CP now with it being a supposed treatment for covid19. Fishman/national fish pharmaceuticals is out and having issues with FDA allowing any more import of it along with other fish meds.
Was told that FDA is leaning towards prescriptions for ALL fish meds including antibiotics and that they will probably be off the shelf in near future.

Glad I have my 100 grams sealed up tight. Keeping fingers crossed the H2O2 protocol is a suitable replacement.

I bought some from Fishman/national fish on Friday. I haven’t heard anything from them about not getting it. I have a written prescription from my vet for some, but couldn’t find anywhere to fill it
