If you do indeed have Oodinium (velvet) ther are a few quick facts in case you did not know them.

This is a parasite and is similar to ich.
It can spread easily and needs to be treated.
Usually by the time it becomes visible it id advanced and should be treated promptly.
Meds that work for Ich should work for velvet.

I do not know what country you are in and I am in the states so I will offer information for there. One med to use would be Flubendazole available here

also have a quick read here

Here is an excellent paper on Oodinium but it doesn't mention flubendazole.
Sustainable aquaculture requires environmental-friendly treatment strategies for fish diseases
The above article seemed to mention Chloroquine only for sw oodinium but I did not do an intense reading so I may have missed something in this respect.

Basically the choice of med for this infection also depends on the fish. Some react better or worse to any given med.

Finallly, try here for the med you want https://store.nationalfishpharm.com...items/search/keywords:Chloroquine%20phosphate
the smallest quantity is $150.
