Can the ick medicated/internal parasite food be used as preventative measure as well, or should it only be used when symptoms start to show up?

Depends
I probably wouldn't continue feeding the food 24/7/365.
Personally I would use the ich medicated food when signs are present, and maybe for a day or 2 when adding new fish. The internal medicine one I would do a round when adding new fish and use particularly on anything that you are having trouble putting weight on .

I'm very interested in the Ick and Hex medicated food. Makes so much sense, I mean if a person gets an infection (especially an internal parasite), we take a pill, no? The active ingredient in the Ick food is an anti-malarial (chloroquine or such), and the active ingredient in the Hex food is metronidazole. Makes perfect sense to me. I'll be picking some up.
Plus, if you're careful with feeding and run carbon, no need to remove the fish from a reef.
