So I just got a shipment of prazi and CP stopped at customs into Ireland and returned to amazon.
I don’t see either of them in the shops here-
Does anyone know of a brand or name of alternatives that I can get my hands on?
Likewise I can’t get Kanaplex or even focus.

I have seen Seachem cupramine- am I right saying that’s a copper alternative?

Stuff in the lfs is just marked ‘for fin rot’ as an example- nothing that mentions flukes
Hope someone can help
 
There are some alternatives available, hyposalinity will work for flukes but you want to be careful as it cannot be combined with copper for any diseases that require copper treatment. If it's available, fenbendazole also works for flukes (prazi resistant strains also)
Cupramine is copper, it's an ionic copper instead of a chelated copper like copper power and can be a little harsher on certain species of fish but is still just as effective. Humblefish has also been experimenting with hydrogen peroxide as an alternative treatment and it is showing promise.
A substitute for focus would be unflavored gelatin or agar. I know this is a lot of information, if you want any further info about anything I've shared I'll be glad to elaborate
