Super Ick Cure liquid or powder? Match the label before using a record
A side-by-side identity audit of two labeler-submitted documents explains why a shared trade name is not enough.

Quick answer
Liquid and powder Super Ick Cure documents describe different forms and ingredient statements. Match the physical form and applicable label before borrowing instructions or compatibility wording. FishyMag’s existing liquid record is not a reviewed powder record.
Compare the document identities
The two DailyMed documents name Mars Fishcare North America as labeler. The liquid document lists benzaldehyde green in its title; the powder document lists nitrofurazone. Their ingredient sections also use malachite green terminology. Preserve the wording from each document instead of silently normalising two entries into one product.
| Identity field | Liquid document | Powder document |
|---|---|---|
| Form | Liquid | Powder |
| Strength expressed per | 5 mL | Packet |
| Displayed revision | April 2026 | December 2021 |
| Record identifier | NDC 17163-514 | NDC 17163-512 |
Keep the warning with the form
API’s liquid product page advises against use in aquariums with invertebrates, with a veterinarian-related qualification in its FAQ. The DailyMed liquid and powder documents have their own caution wording. A difference in wording is a reason to identify the applicable current label, not permission to clear a group omitted from another document. This article adds no powder formulation verdict.
Do not treat a database listing as approval
Both DailyMed pages state that the drug has not been found by FDA to be safe and effective and that the labeling has not been approved by FDA. Hosting on that service does not erase the disclaimer. These are useful identity documents, not certificates of suitability or proof that an older label matches stock sold today.
Use the mismatch as the question
Example: “My package is powder, but the record I found is for liquid. Here are photographs, the market, lot and printed directions. Which current document applies?” Do not convert a packet to millilitres or transfer a liquid calculator result to it. The bottle worksheet can hold this comparison while the identity remains unresolved.

These links provide context, not product recommendations.
FishyMag reports what manufacturers say, quoted and linked. It does not diagnose illness or recommend a treatment, and it never infers that a product is safe from the absence of a warning — where no statement exists, it says so.
Formulations change. Always read the label on the bottle in your hand, and contact the manufacturer if your tank contains anything valuable or unusual.
