1 ml of this liquid contains
- Praziquantel 25 mg
- Sorbitan monooleate - emulsifier, thickener, stabilizer, and surfactant for food and pharmaceuticals. Amber coloured oily liquid
- Polysorbate 80 - nonionic surfactant and emulsifier for food and pharmaceuticals. Viscous, water-soluble yellow liquid.
- Sodium propionate 2 mg - food preservative
- Sodium benzoate 2 mg - food preservative
- Bentonite - Absorbent swelling clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite (a type of smectite). Tons of uses.
- Anhydrous citric acid - can't see why this wouldn't be fish-safe or even reef safe
- Xanthan gum - polysaccharide food additive. Thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer.
- Propylene glycol - viscous, colorless liquid. Many pharmaceutical drugs which are insoluble in water utilize propylene glycol as a solvent and carrier.
