Jungle anti parasite fish food. effective after soaking?

[Meredith]

A while back I thought my female ram may have had internal parasites. I got her the antiparasite fish food from jungle. Just recently she has started looking really thin again and acting super hungry so I thought I would try the food again. The pellets are too big and too hard for her to eat, so I soak them in some water for a bit to soften them up. What I am wondering though is does soaking them make them ineffective? What is it exactly in the food that is antiparasite, and is it released into the water?

The pellets contain several common anti-parasite medications (metronidazole, levamisole and others). They will dissipate into the water if you soak them. I crush the pellets when I feed. I got a pepper grinder to make it quick and easy. It makes small pieces, but they all get eaten.

Another way is to thaw frozen food, allow the pieces of pellet to soak, refreeze the food and then feed.
