Default Curing ick

I recently had an ick outbreak in my tank and was wondering. If i add

kick
ick do i need to take my activated carbon out of my filter? I was told

that
it will remove all medications from the water.


I had a similar experience. I had some ick in the tank, started treatment
and got nowhere. The ick just got worse. Then I heard about the carbon, took
it out, re treated and it went away almost immedietely. Now it is possible
that it would have gone anyway, but without evidence to the contrary, I now
believe that removing the carbon is best.
