Stu you should be doisng at between 2- 4 ppm (24 hour Bath) ...if you go above 6 ppm with Discus, they can get stressed.
hope that helps.

I think I may need to deworm as I have an active fish that is otherwise getting skinnier.
Can anyone tell me the correct dosage in grams per 10 gallons and the recommended redose, length of treatment, etc.
I was under the assumption that it was .07 grams per 10 gal. but that seems very low.

I agree with AL, 2-4 ppm

2 ppm = 75mg per 10 gallons .......or .075 grams/10g
4 ppm = 150mg per 10 gallons......or .150 grams/10g
I use to dose it long time ago - 100 Mg per 10 G according to the data found where else but here on SD. That would be a middle dose , about 3ppms .
I remember it should be dosed as a 24 hour bath tree times in three weeks ,I.e. day 1 , day 14 and day 21 because of the life cycle of the roundworms . Lights off is preferred because discus become light sensitive and sketchy during the treatment . One or 2 days of non eating and stressed discus after the bath isn't unusual IME with this harsh treat, at least from my humble experience.
Good luck Stu , and please , keep us informed about the outcome and results .
