prazi after sea chem copper treatment

I have a 55 gallon QT tank. Had some new arrivals. Treated with Cupariame by seachem. I believe I have flukes also. doing a water change. At what level of copper in the QT can I start to also use the Prazi.

In otherwords.. I remember reading that copper can be more toxic with Prazi in the water.. cant do both at same time because of this. I did do a freshwater bath on the angels and they are now in a bucket for a few hours with prazi treatment. but going back into the QT.. so need to treat at two rounds of the prazi. Thanks
 
Although I don't like to mix meds, Prazi can be used with copper without cross-reactions. Prime causes some copper meds like Cupramine to be more toxic.
 
No, Prime causes it to be more toxic by breaking the amine bonds in the copper-amine complex. Prazi doesn't have any interaction with it chemically. If you have concerns about the two reacting, I would remove the copper fully (with either carbon or Cuprasorb) before adding Prazi.
