Uk meds for flukes are, wormer plus, sterazin by waterlife.
There also a jbl med but think you have to have a certain ph to use that med.

The problem with flukes is that some are egg layers and you need to keep treating to kill the young as they hatch.
Also flukes cause bacterial infections. So once you finished the med you have to back up with a bacterial med.
