The UK is the home of the most effective broad spectrum IP treatment you can get, Kusari Wormer Plus. It's flubendazole bases, very safe even in massive overdose, and kills as broad a spectrum of internal parasites as treatments with many ingredients. I import the stuff to the USA because I prefer it above all other treatments. It has a high success rate even when added to the water, and the safety margin on overdose means I can do things like inject a slush of the stuff into an earthworm, then feed it to my puffer without worry.

Yes although its sold as a Discus wormer, it is very effective with puffers and other fish. Check ebay, delivery is usually cheaper.
