If you buy fish antibiotics, how do you find out how to dose them for people? And are fish antibiotics even safe to give to people?
The fish antibiotics are the same as given to humans. What you need to understand is the PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) amount per kilogram of body weight. When you see a medicine (Keflex for instance) in 250 milligram and 500 milligram amounts for a fish tank, that is the exact same amount used for the average adult based upon what is being treated. Buy the fish fixes and you have the human medicine, then the PDR tells you how often to take that dose. The PDR will also help you to see that there are no other additives in the human doses that are not in the fish dosing and vice versa.
Well you could read the article as that’s what it is mostly about.
Notice what I said about there being no separate manufacturing facility for fish antibiotics.
Yes, that means that you’re using human antibiotics in your fish tank, in the same dosages as you would give a person.
How do you know that people antibiotics are safe to give to people? How do you know you’re giving the fish the right dose!
I posted a link above somewhere that talks about dosages and usages of the various antibiotic types. You use cephalaxins for anthrax, etc...
