vet visit with my new arrivals

so I brought my 3 xenochrophis vittatus to the vet today
he feels the parasites will work themselves out through the skin
the one who hadn't eaten yet, is also the one with the worst skin lesions
the vet pumped some dog food into his stomach

then he said something that I need help with

it was something about some treatment for hole-in-the-head disease in discus containing a substance that also works as an appetite stimulant

so I called later to ask what he was talking about
i didn't talk to him, but the receptionist asked him for me, and he said "hexamed"

now I'm really confused

I spent the afternoon poring over my fish health books
I googled
I found it in Europe, as in chlorhexamed, the sore throat gargle
is that the same thing, or something different?
and how does it relate to to chlorhexedine?
I know endings mean a lot in the world of chemistry

can anyone here help me with that?

btw
Mikhaia named the snakes Cocoa (the female), Coffee and Caramel (the males)
