I'd just buy some from e-bay, international. Bypass AU's ridiculous laws.
Hey everyone,
I've been searching for metronidazole in Australia but seems like it is a prescription only medicine. I live in the East side of Victoria in Dandenong and was wondering if it is possible to get it (preferably legally :P). I'd just like to have it on hand just in case any of my fish get sick
Thanks,
Charles

Oh, wouldn't it be stopped at customs? If not I'd certainly do that
You can try with commercial aquarium products on eBay , Amazon , aliexpress etc.etc. containing metronidazole as their active ingredient.
The other option is to ask a vet if they will prescribe it for you, but that is prob a more expensive route.
Try PM'ing two_utes and ask Joe. He's a local Melbourne bloke.

Customs are pretty busy, there's a chance It'll get seized but its very slight and at most you'll get a rude letter from them. I import questionable things often, have never lost one.
If you buy an aquarium product it will look better than a packet of powder with Metronidazole written on it.

Flagyl contains metronidazole. you can get a script from your local doctor.
Thanks for the help guys!
two_utes, when you refer to preventative measures do you mean large frequent WCs?
You can buy metroplex off eBay Australia. It’s only 70% metronidazole but better than nothing I guess.
We're here for a good time...not a long time
