Should I remove carbon from my filter?
Yes. Remove activated carbon, Purigen, or other chemical media before dosing. These materials absorb medications and will reduce the effectiveness of treatment.
Can I open the capsule for easier dosing?
Yes — you should open the capsule and dissolve the powder into the tank for better distribution and faster absorption.
Is it safe for all fish?

Can it be combined with other medications?
Avoid combining Fish Cephalexin with other antibiotics unless you're experienced or guided by an aquatic veterinarian. Improper combinations can cause stress or reduce the effectiveness of both drugs.
