Q: I am trying your PolyGuard product and want to verify the dosage. Most medications I have used require a daily dosage. Your directions, "repeat every 3 days for up to 2 weeks." My understanding is to skip 2 days between dosages for a total of 4 doses in 2 weeks. Is this correct?
A: You are correct on the dosage of PolyGuard.
Q: Is it safe to continue to use Melafix while administering PolyGuard?
A: As a general rule of thumb, I would not mix medications. If you feel you must, please watch your fish closely. Water exchanges should be performed after the complete 2 week dosage (4 total doses) before continuing with anther 2 week dosing of PolyGuard.
Q: Will PolyGuard harm my plants?
A: I would not use PolyGuard in a planted aquarium unless you used Focus (binding agent) to bind it to some frozen food and feed it directly to your fish.
Q: How does PolyGuard compare with ParaGuard?
A: PolyGuard is different from ParaGuard in the fact that PolyGuard contains antibiotics and ParaGuard acts more like a disinfectant/antiseptic and does not contain antibiotics.
