he may have ment pimafix but if you are treating fin rot out of the two i think that it is melafix that is used. unless the fin problem is fungal ?if not the melafix is a antibiotic I think. how ever i dont use eather of them maybe some one that does can help more

I'm not keen on primafix, or melafix, as I think it is useless for discus at best and at worst may even be harmful.
A number of people on this site have suggested the same. There is some sentiment that these products may harm the discus fish slime coating.

I've had reasonable results with myxacin, which greatly reduces the quantity of water bourne bacteria.

Do you have a UV steriliser, by the way?
