I wouldn't know, I've never looked at or used pharmaceutical salt.
Just use sodium chloride sans the anti-caking additives etc. Kosher/pickling salt is dirt cheap, so that's what I typically use when required.

Well it's pharmaceutical "Fish" salt and it says it helps cure FW and Saltwater fish diseases and help get rid of stress.

ya but there are so many ways to acclimate, i've used a bunch of ways and never saw a difference in the fish, except one time to revive a fish.
OP- keep us updated on how he is doing.
Ok so I put him in the 10g last night with a rock for him to hide in and I just checked him again and the breathing has not seemed to slow down after I added a Teaspoon of that salt. But that website says it may take 2-3 weeks for it to completely be cured.
It might have been a false alarm because look at this, http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=360510 This is the batch I bought mine from and they are all doing the same exact thing, I think its just normal...
