i have personally never used it, i am sure someone else will chime in but from what i read its a brad spectrum antibiotic which in my experience in past will take out beneficial bacteria although Seachem claims it doesnt.
It's the same active ingredient as neosporin. Helpful with external injuries/infections, but maybe not a strong enough punch for serious infections.
It's worth a try if it's all you have on hand. Kanaplex is more of a wide-spectrum antibiotic.

+1 Furan-2 is another good choice.
No experience with Neoplex per se; but I have used neosporin topically on fish.
This is the "fish medicine" version of neosporin: http://www.hikariusa.com/solutions/healthaid/bio-bandage/

How about BiFuran? Can you dose prazipro at the same time as the neoplex?

totally addicted
I've never used it either. I've always gone with the more broad spectrum options. I'm sure you could dose it at the same time as prazi though. Just add extra o2 to the water and watch for a bacterial bloom.
That product contains nitrofurazone and furazolidone, two very useful antibiotics for treating SW fish.
Prazipro is the one medication I don't like mixing with any other drug, expect maybe copper. It contains Oxybispropanol which sometimes causes negative interactions, bacterial blooms, etc.
