Has anyone used this dewormer?

I've been thinking about using a dewormer on my tanks just as a precaution and found this product. Does anyone have any experience with it or know much about the active ingredient?

I haven't been able to get hold of levamisole so looking for alternatives.

From the site you linked, scroll way down, near the bottom.

'Flubendazole is still the main active ingredient in the new version'

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I could see what the active ingredient is, I just don't know anything about fish medications.

Would this be a safe and effective enough medication to go for?

here is some info about Flubendazole. It is talking about a particular formulation when it suggests dosages, so I would ignore that, and go by the dosages on the product that is available to you.

I've been using it as a preventative treatment for all new fish in quarantine, following Charles' directions in the link Diana posted. So far so good. The known problems I've successfully treated are a bad case of camallanus in some m. praecox rainbows, and it solved a case of wasting/skinny(?) in my hillstream tank that levamisole didn't

I have also used this treatment and now swear by it.
I tried levamisole four times before deciding that it didn't do the trick for "my type of worms". I lost four clowns to skinny whilst I was using levamisole.
As soon as I used wormer plus the remaining clown was wormed. It took a few months to feed him back up.
