What does Tapeworm Dewormer for Dogs, 5 Tablets do?
The liver absorbs and metabolizes praziquantel, and it is then excreted through the bile. Once it enters the dog's digestive tract, its cestocidal activity forces the tapeworm to succumb to host digestion. Entire tapeworms rarely completely pass through the digestive system of the host. Usually, tapeworms will be digested, and only small parasite pieces will be left behind in the feces following praziquantel treatment.

Tips for using Tapeworm Dewormer for Dogs, 5 Tablets
A veterinarian visit before starting your dog on dewormer can rule out other potential issues or contraindications. Diagnosing your dog with tapeworms is a prudent first step to treatment!
Overview
Dosage and Administration :: Administer orally to dogs and puppies (4 weeks of age or older) as follows.
Body Weight (lbs) / Number of Tabs
5 lbs and under / 1/2 tablet
6-10 lbs / 1 tablet
11-15 lbs / 1 1/2 tablets
16-30 lbs / 2 tablets
31-45 lbs / 3 tablets

Fasting is neither necessary nor recommended. Tablets may be crumbled and mixed with your pets food.
Retreatment : Steps should be taken to control fleas and rodents on the premises in order to prevent reinfection, otherwise retreatment will be necessary. This is especially true in cases of tapeworms transmitted by fleas (Dipylidium caninum) where reinfection is almost certain to occur if fleas are not removed from the animal and its environment. If reinfection occurs, tapeworm segments may be observed within one month of the initial treatment.
