Cats and kittens over the age of 6 weeks should be given Bayer Expert Careâ„¢ Tapeworm Dewormer Tablets for Cats in the following dosages according to weight:
The most common way your cat got tapeworms is from having fleas, which often carry immature tapeworms. Cats infested with fleas will frequently ingest them as they groom themselves (a daily behavior) and become infected with tapeworms. Cats that hunt small rodents (in your house or backyard) may also be at risk of infection from tapeworms.
Tapeworm segments look similar to grains of white rice and are easily seen stuck in your cat's hair under the tail or by the back legs, or in their poop. Of course, it's not always obvious that your cat has tapeworms, so the best way to identify a problem is through an exam performed by a veterinarian.
Luckily, one treatment with Tapeworm Dewormer (praziquantel tablets) for cats should be adequate to clear out the tapeworms. However, steps should be taken to treat and prevent fleas on the cat (and other pets in the home) and remove rodents around the home or premises in order to prevent reinfection; otherwise, retreatment will be needed.
WARNING: Keep out of reach of children.

I gave this to one of my cats who definitely had tapeworms and he acted a little quiet and queasy for a couple hours, then was fine and was more active than ever and feeling much better the next day. I gave it to his younger, healthier brother and he is still violently sick after 24 hours with blood-tinged vomiting and lethargy. Same bottle - two totally different reactions. So be careful - I was not impressed with the lack of information on this packaging and had to dig around online to find out that other people's cats had also had this kind of terrible reaction. Even my vet was suggesting something else was causing it because "wormers are safe" but it was the only unusual thing in his day and unlike the first cat who barely noticed the pill hidden in a treat, this poor guy's reaction was immediate with drooling and retching. We're still waiting to see if he recovers on his own or will have to go back to the vet, it's made him so sick. So I would definitely be sure, via stool sample at the vets, that this is what you need, and even then, proceed with caution and be prepared to have a sick cat.
i have used this a few times in the past and it works! plus chewy always gets it to you super fast!! i give 2 doses a couple weeks apart to be sure and never had any side effects in any of my cats. just be sure to prevent reinfection, so keep up on flea prevention, and wash all bedding and vacuum so any tapeworm segments and fleas are gone.
I have been using this med for the occasional tapeworm situation. My cat is about 12 lbs. I usually catch the infection in early stage and so I will start with 1/2 tablet (vs. 1-1/2 dose). No side effects. Then follow up with 2nd 1/2. My cat will not take it with food; so I have to administer orally; which is a bit of a challenge. I try to keep extra on-hand as each bottle contains 3 tablets.
I have an elderly kitty and for some reason she got ill after attempting to give 1/2 pill ground up in some lil friskies lil shake. Apparently she noticed it as well while eating and got pretty upset with me. It could have just been a coincidence but her tummy definitely reacted. Bloody stool, gas, and runny stool for several days. I absolutely will not be giving this to her again.
I covered this pill in soft kitty food and also a kitty churo and both times he spit the pill out. The size of it makes it incredibly difficult to get down. Finally had to shove it in his mouth and fight him till it devolved. Not easy at all.
Worked as expected, only needed one dose. Was so effective my coworker asked to try fir her kittens that came from the same litter as mine and all had tapeworms, worked first try for them as well.
I administered this to my cat, crushed up in her food, as I can honestly say that I've never given her a pill and knew I'd have a problem. It worked fine, but I really wasn't keen on having to give a second application. And you get 3 pills in the bottle, so if you have two cats, you'll have one left over for another dose but will have to buy another box to treat the second cat.
I did not read and bought this product thinking it would fully deworm my cats. They all had roundworms and were not benefited by this product - so I cannot speak to its effectiveness. However, I will say it was pretty difficult to give this to my cats - and some tried to fight me on the pill. If your vet could provide you with another option, I would take that instead.
We used this at the vet's office I used to work at and I was thrilled to find it without a prescription. I needed it for a stray cat that I could not get to the vet. I love that I could crush a pill to mix into his food. He ate it all up and I haven't seen any tapeworms since. (I'm still going to retreat as recommended to be safe though)
the pills are a little big, but if you have a pill plunger it's a breeze! i have 4 cats and i've never had issues with this product works great!
