Fluconazole questions

[Fz1ben]

Hello all

I've recently been doing some research on dosing fluconazole to deal with bryopsis algae. I went a head and ordered the capsules but was hoping for some advice before taking the plunge.

The capsules are 150mg of fluconazole but it also lists lactose monohydrate as an ingredient. Are these safe to dose?

I look forward to ant replies

Cheers

There is no problem dosing Fluconazole. Just finished a two week treatment. It works great it takes a full two weeks and it worked great. Just get use to the bubbles. Remove or turn off your skimmer. Because the med’s make the take extra bubbly. [emoji3]

Thanks, yes I was planning on removing carbon and skimmer during the treatment. I pretty happy with the idea of the fluconazole being safe I was just worried about the lactose monohydrate. I'm guessing it's some type of binder or even the capsule it's self.

It could very well be the capsule that contains the lactose. When dosing you would cut the end off the capsule anyway and empty the powder out for use.
