Plants, even algae such as marimo balls, don't remove medication. They might take some up into the plant, but not so much that it will interfer with the treatment.

They do not filter out medication. Make sure to remove any active carbon that may be in your filter. That will remove the medication out of the water, hence making it less effective.
