LGND Medi NeoEX™

Medi NeoEX™ is a broad-spectrum antibacterial treatment designed for the control of external bacterial infections in ornamental fish. It is highly effective against a wide range of Gram-negative pathogens that commonly cause fin rot, ulcerative lesions, and skin infections.

Medi NeoEX™ dissolves rapidly and remains active in the water column, making it suitable for both freshwater and marine aquariums. It may also be used in medicated food for targeted treatment of infected fish.

Active ingredients: polymer-stabilized neomicin (43%). Inactive ingredients: excipients (57%).

Available sizes: 5 g, 100 g

Medi NeoEX™ is recommended for the treatment of:

Fin Rot Bacterial Lesions Bloat Mouth Rot

Bacterial infection

Fins appear shredded, frayed, or decaying. Fin Rot is frequently mistaken for damage from fin-nipping fish. Contrary to the name, this is actually caused by bacteria, not fungus.

Suggested Treatment Period: 7 days or until infection clears

Special Considerations: Fin Rot is often found as a secondary infection. Make sure to check for additional infections.

Bacterial Infection

Open wounds or sores on the body or tail of the fish. They often look like an open wound, sore, or deterioration of the skin and flesh of the fish.

Suggested Treatment Period: Dose in the water 3 weeks

Special Considerations: Bacterial lesions often start due to wounds on the fish, either from travel or from residence in a tank of aggressive fish. Using an antiseptic like StressProtect™ will help to prevent this.

Symptom of internal infection

Fish's belly appears swollen and may have trouble swimming. If the scales stick out, this is called Dropsy and is better treated with Medi KanaEX™. Bloat is often caused by intestinal infections, but can also be a symptom of internal parasites or damage to the fish's liver.

Suggested Treatment Period: 3 weeks or until fungus clears

Special Considerations: Bloat is a relatively common and easily treated condition in fish. If left alone, it can eventually develop into Dropsy, which is much more difficult to treat. Medi NeoEX™ is very effective against bacterial infections of the intestines, but if the infection spreads to other parts of the body, we recommend treating with Medi KanaEX™.

Columnaris

Damaged fins, ulcers and yellowish patches on gills, tissue on head and mouth eaten away. This infection appears gruesome, but is entirely treatable. It is common to see fungus-like tufts around the face and mouth in addition to deterioration of tissue. It is essential to catch this disease early to prevent long-term damage.

Suggested Treatment Period: 1 week

Special Considerations: Columnaris is very contagious. If possible, remove the infected fish to treat separately in a hospital tank.

Dosing in Water

Remove all invertebrates — these are extremely sensitive to medication. Turn off UV filters, ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration like Purge XPro®. Use 1 measure (included) per every 8 L (2 US gallons). Repeat this dose every 7 days to a maximum of 3 weeks. This will treat external bacterial infections.

Dosing in Food

Feed the medicated food mix (recipe below) every day until the infection clears or up to 3 weeks. This medicated food can be refrigerated or frozen between feedings.

1 scoop Medi NeoEX™

1 scoop Medi Bind™

1 tbsp food (preferably pellets or frozen food)

A few drops of water if using a dry food

To enhance palatability use with Medi Garlic™.

After Treating

When the treatment period is over, Medi NeoEX™ can easily be removed using activated filter carbon. It does not linger in the substrate or filter media of the tank.

For ornamental fish use only. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye exposure, rinse thoroughly with water. Store in a cool, dry place with container tightly closed. Do not use for human consumption.
