Identification and context

Identity and formulation

Substance monograph for acriflavine, a name used for dyes or mixtures that are not always equivalent. Identified regulatory sources document specific combination products; they do not establish universal efficacy, compatibility or dosage for the isolated substance.

Supported indications

Acriflavine appears in some combination ornamental products for defined external indications. Identify the agent and lesion; do not extrapolate claims against Oodinium, bacteria, fungi, wounds or eggs from a combination to the isolated substance.

Diagnostic prerequisites

Confirm host, diagnosis, net volume, water quality and exact formulation before use. Do not transfer directions between products.

Verify before intervening

Confirmation and decisions

Preparation and monitoring

The FDA Faunamor sheet concerns an identified combination with malachite green and methylene blue for ornamental fish. It is not a generic-acriflavine insert and does not authorize dose conversions.

Species and system compatibility

Staining, photostability, toxicity and compatibility depend on chemical identity, concentration, excipients, host and product. Do not universally declare it safe or toxic to plants and invertebrates; follow the exact insert.

Interactions and contraindications

Staining, photostability, toxicity and compatibility depend on chemical identity, concentration, excipients, host and product. Do not universally declare it safe or toxic to plants and invertebrates; follow the exact insert.

Proportionate actions

Management and monitoring

Adverse effects and failure

Staining, photostability, toxicity and compatibility depend on chemical identity, concentration, excipients, host and product. Do not universally declare it safe or toxic to plants and invertebrates; follow the exact insert.

Operator safety

The FDA Faunamor sheet concerns an identified combination with malachite green and methylene blue for ornamental fish. It is not a generic-acriflavine insert and does not authorize dose conversions.

Regulatory status

Check authorisation, prescription status and conditions of use in the user’s jurisdiction; ornamental and food-producing animals are not interchangeable.

Evidence limitations

Manufacturer directions document only the stated formulation. Efficacy, safety and dosage do not automatically extend to the active substance or other products.
