I've been using praziquantel in my quarantine regiment and have been having an awful time getting it to dissolve properly.

Found this while doing a search and thought I'd share:

Pure Praziquantel powder used to treat flukes in koi and goldfish is notoriously hard to dissolve, however, there is a really simple way dissolve it

Basically just place the meds into a nylon stocking and then crush it with your fingers while in the water. I tried it today (after painstakingly retrieving the un-dissolved bits from the tank) and it worked like magic.

Hopefully that's handy for someone else as well!

When I had trouble dissolving fenbendazole in water I used a magnetic stirrer. I just let it run for a while. That worked really good, no work involved.
