Levamisole products?

[Deadeye]

My new dwarf puffer appears to be showing symptoms of parasites. Mostly starting to be really thin and not having much of an appetite (seemed to have no problem biting a danio’s tail off). Haven’t seen it’s poop to confirm.
Rather than lose the tank to parasites, I figured I should treat it.
I have metro and prazi but neither are good for this type of internal parasite last I checked, and puffers won’t eat hex shield.
To my knowledge, levamisole is the go to treatment, but I can’t seem to find many products with it besides fritz expel-p. Is it any good? Or are there other readily available products?
Thanks for reading!

Mark P. Who I have ordered few times. Has a website now. So you can just contact him his email is in the picture as well if you dont want to check out aquabid. This is the actual product package empty though I saved it for reordering next time as my memory is awful for spelling medications out

You can buy levamisole in a large quantity off Amazon it's for cattle deworming. I think it's called prohibit? It's cut 10% with a cutting agent so you'd have to do the math but directions for levamisole are here https://subquaria.com/index.php?_route_=Levamisole-HCl-Powder

Subaquaria doses ~3x higher than the recommended 2ppm dosage by vets

Levamisole Hydrochloride — Loaches Online

Its application and usage in freshwater aquariums.

www.loaches.com

has the proper dosing for nearly pure levamisole HCL “ ~90mg of Levamisole HCl will treat 10 gallons with a 2 ppm concentration.”

“

Dr. Roy Yanong, V.M.D. recommends the following for treating fish with internal parasites susceptible to Levamisole HCl:

"In answer to your question, the dosage rate for levamisole in a bath is 2 mg/L (2 ppm) for 24 hours (followed by 70-100% water change, and siphon the bottoms of the tanks), with repeat treatments necessary--retreat in 2-3 weeks, and probably one more time after that. This is regardless of size of fish."

The 2 mg/L dosage rate (of the active ingredient Levamisole) is currently (2007) the level being used by the scientific community. It effectively paralyzes Levamisole susceptible parasites at that concentration. Increasing the dosage level does not seem to have any greater effect.”

Ordered fritz two days ago, came today. I put it in, hoping for the best!
If doesn’t say on the package to run carbon when done, should I still? Or is it like prazi and breaks down on its own?
