In the past, I have used cupramine with good results when I had the store. But since then I have not needed to nor wanted to as a profilactic.

I got a healthy powder blue that was eating like a pig and was isolated from other fish for a month before I got it.
He had a few ich spots.
I then placed him into a QT tank and started dropping salinity to 1.009
He was in hypo for about 4 weeks and it didn't kill the ich.
I decided to raise salinity and administer copper.
He's coming on to his 4th week and I have not seen signs of ich since beginning of week 2.
Since my tank was recently put up, I went with the route to QT all fish to try not to introduce ich in the system.
All I have now are 2 clowns that were also QT for 4 weeks, but just in hypo.
I did also use Rid-Ich+ right before introducing them to QT tank and right before going into display.
Hopefully no ich in the system
