How To Get Rid Of Tape Worms?

hello i have a hunch that i have tapeworms. I am seeing white looking seeds in my stools. My cat just went through an episode with tapeworms, I hadn't noticed for a while but there was tapeworm segments all over my house from the cat. I went to a clinic and i was given pyrantel pamoate yet from what i read its useless against tapeworms. My cat was treated with praziquantel, Its been several days now and I am still seeing white seeds in my stools. will I need a different medication?

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*In our clinic we recommend Tab. Albendazole (400)mg at night for 2
consecutive days , repeated at interval of 15 days. Medication is completed
only when stool microscopy shows you devoid of any eggs / larvae /
proglottids.
*Always wash your hands thoroughly with antiseptic soap before eating and
after using the toilet.
Hope this clears your query.
Thanks for using Health Care Magic and reviewing my answer carefully.
Wishing you fast and speedy recovery for the same.
Regards.
Bye dear take care.
