Fish Medication

I’m switching Fish medications to kill velvet. How long do I need to wait before I can try a new medication?
I’m switching fish medications to kill velvet. The fist one I used called quick cure did reduce the infestation, but it has not killed all the velvet and I’ve been treating for about a month with lights off and 81 F temperature. So I got a new kind with copper sulfate which is supposed to be THE velvet killer.
I can’t mix the two medications together obviously, so I’ve stopped using the first one. How long do I have to wait before I can introduce the new medication? Or is it just based on doing a few water changes?
I’ve replaced the filter and have done a 25% water change since I stoped using the first medication (quick cure). When can I put in the new medication?
Please help!
Thanks!
by the way my tank is freshwater with mollies and an Otto Catfish. I also have some brand new fry.
Do a series of water changes over a couple of days to remove most of the original medication. You can change 1/3 of the water a couple of times a day.
Diseases like velvet are commonly caused by poor water conditions anyway, so the extra water changes will improve those and help with the fish healing.
