Two choices: flubendazole and praziquantel. A lot of people use prazi here but I have flubendazole. Both should work.

Flubendazole: get it at www.4fishstuff.com Dose at 1/4 tsp. per 20 gallons. Change 50% of the water every other day and replace medicine for the amount of water removed. Continue this for 11 treatments (21 days). You won't notice much change until the 5th or 6th day.

Maybe someone can help you out with Prazi, but I'm not knowledgable enough to do so.
