Commonly Used Us Meds - Uk/europe Alternatives

Hi, we have a lot of Uk & European members here who often can’t find alternatives for some of the more commonly advised meds you lucky US people have access to.
I’m going to do some research to try & find some comparable meds that can be sourced here so I’m looking for some help with the names & ingredients of some of the more commonly used US meds.
Now please bear in mind that antibiotics are in the main, with a very very limited exception, veterinary prescription only here & prohibitively expensive so I’ll be very lucky to fine alternatives for those. I’m not expecting the eventual list to be a long one
All suggestions gratefully accepted

If you can please give the name & what it’s used for that would be great thanks

I’ll edit this as it goes along but here are a few to start with.....

Levamisole - Chanaverm

Praziquantel - Fluke solve

Fenbendazole - KusurI wormer plus

Levamisole + flubendazole - Cloverleaf Absolute

 

HI Coradee I hope I understand correctly what you are trying to do. If I am way off I am very sorry!

A couple of months ago I ran Into a hydra problem in some of my tanks and this was the first time I ever have gotten them. Plus I don’t even know how I got them in the first place. The medicine I used to get rid of the hydra is fenbendazole

It a common medication in dog dewormers. It was easy on my gold Ocellatus fry and on my biological media. And in 3 days all the hydra was gone and I didn’t loose a single fish. I hope this is what you are looking for and I’m sorry if it’s too long!

Thank you Tanks
Edit: uh oh, unfortunately the “plexes” even if they're on the ebay Uk site, if they’re being shipped from the US then it’s illegal to import without a vet certificate

Wow the regulations there are pretty strict! Some of the meds are sold from the U.K. I am assuming so because the location states Mansfield Woodhouse, United Kingdom. I’m not sure about all the meds but this one is for the Paraguard which I like myself because it’s a all around med. I also wonder if someone used ebays global shipping program to buy a medication if it would get through to the customer, hmmmm it just a thought
