For nematodes this was unaffective in my experience.  I'm 
sure piperazine will kill them but I think my difficulty 
was getting the correct doseage into the fish.

I also tried Fluke Tabs which I bought while on business in 
the US.  They did not work and caused terrible trauma for 
the few catfish (Peckoltia, Corydoras) that I had in the 
tank.

In the end the Levamisole Hydrochloride worked a treat.
