Mixing Medication Question?

[leewish]

Hi All,

Have an Angel in QT and just started treatment with Maracyn 2. My question is, can I use prazipro at the same time with Maracyn 2?

Thank you in advance.

I personally never mix meds but I believe here we are talking antibiotics.
I’d like to offer a second input. Like myself, Jay is at work ( I get more free time than he does).

There isn't any overt reaction between prazipro and Maracyn 2 (Minocycline) but any time you mix medications, you add to possible stress on the fish. Additionally, the solvent used in prazipro is acted on by bacteria, and so you need to step up the aeration when using it as the bacteria growth will pull oxygen out of the water.
