Prevent·Ich is a treatment composed of 100% organic ingredients. Its broad
spectrum of activity and lack of toxicity make Prevent·Ich effective without
requiring a specific diagnosis. It stops parasitic invasions from getting
started and in turn prevents many secondary infections. It is effective against
Ichthyophthirius (ich) as well as many other protozoans (single cell parasites
such as dinoflagellates and fungus). Such protozoans in fresh water include,
Costia, Trichodina, Chilodonella, and in salt water Cryptocaryon (saltwater ich),
and Amyloodinium. In short, Prevent·Ich helps fishes fight off infections while
the fishes themselves are still strong. The herbals used in Prevent·Ich have
been selected because they have been shown to have a powerful effect against
aquatic diseases, yet are far more forgiving on the animals than harsh
chemicals.
