Expel-P is a levamisole HCL-based medication that is effective in safely and effectively deworming ornamental fish. Expel-P also acts as an immunostimulant agent. Expel-P is very safe and is effective against many internal parasites, especially nematodes, when used as directed. It won’t harm the bio-filter, or other non-worm invertebrates or uninfected fish. As an added benefit, it boosts the immune response of fish. It is effective against Nematodes, Roundworms, Nodular Worms, and Hookworms. Expel-P also works as a coral dip to treat for flatworms and pest nudibranchs. Expel-P does not treat Cestodes (tapeworms) or Trematodes (flukes).
