I would personally use salt and increased temperature, but if you are going to use a medication, make sure it is one specifically safe for scaleless fish. Puffers are very sensitive to medications IME, so I would be hesitant to use anything not marketed as safe specifically for scaleless.

Otherwise, you should follow the directions, and continue treating for at least 3 weeks following the last visible sign of ich.
