How to Use Fish Zithro (Azithromycin):

  • Dosage: It is crucial to consult with a qualified aquatic veterinarian for accurate dosage instructions. Dosage is dependent on the species of fish, its size, and the specific condition being treated. Do not attempt to self-diagnose or treat your fish without veterinary guidance. The information on the product label should be used in conjunction with veterinary advice.
  • Water Changes: Perform a partial water change (25-50%) before starting treatment and between doses.
  • Treatment Duration: Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your veterinarian, even if symptoms improve.
  • Quarantine Tank: It is highly recommended to treat infected fish in a separate quarantine tank to avoid disrupting the biological filter in your main aquarium.

Important Considerations:

  • Accurate Diagnosis: It is essential to have a veterinarian diagnose the fish’s illness before using any medication. Azithromycin will not be effective against all types of infections.
  • Monitor Water Parameters: Azithromycin can affect the beneficial bacteria in your filter. Monitor ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels closely during treatment.
  • Consult a Veterinarian: Consulting a qualified aquatic veterinarian is strongly recommended before administering any medication to your fish.
