Oh man it's nasty as well, nuerotoxin IIRC. We'd use the raw salt to treat marine eye flukes, one of the few that will kill them. It works on Red Bugs as well IIRC, at least I know Dustin tried it for the treatment (did it work? I forget)

My sister had my dog on it for a while....
Friends DR tried to put her on it, but she opted for the sulfur pills instead as the recovery from Metro is a long path.

When learning about the drug this is one of the main things they stressed. Upon questioning our teacher how it produces a "disulfiram-like" reaction w/o interfering w/ acetaldehyde dehydrogenase he was stumped himself. Turns out, anything saying it has a "disulfiram-like" effect is technically incorrect.
Upon looking into it myself years ago, i accepted the fact that it does have a reaction with alcohol by experiencing it first hand. (ulcers + meds for ulcers + a night out on the town = no bueno)
Truth is, most anti-biotics can cause nausea, vommiting, flushing, etc. ....nitroimidazoles (the class of drugs flagyl belongs to) is one i would rank up there as the tops. EtOH ingestion doesnt help when on these. I do admit, when im counseling patients after recieving a rX i mention the reaction and to steer clear of any alcohol for 72 hrs after ingesting your last dose, as no pharmacist would want a pissed off sue happy patient waiting to take you to court because i didn't mention it.

Flagyl is the brand name for metronidazole. you'd have better luck checking LFS to see if they carry it for aquatic use than to use a rX made for human consumption.

YOu do not need a script to buy the aquatic version. IN fact you can buy the real deal, uncut, from one of the major suppliers. We got a pound of the stuff when I was in wholesale and it only takes milligrams to treat hundreds of gallons.
