If you suspect you might have any of tapeworm signs, visit your doctor. Tell him what you think, that you might have been in contact with food or water containing tapeworm. It could be smart to phone your doctor first, because he might suggest you to give him a stool sample, so he could send it to the laboratory be tested for tapeworm.

Most usual oral medication recommended for tapeworms in humans is praziquantel, albendazole or nitazoxanide.

Answer 2

Your vet will be able to prescribe an oral medication. This is the only safe way to be sure you are not hurting your dog while trying to help it. The vet will be able to make sure it is the right dosage and the right treatment. Please don't try any "home" remedies, as there can be very serious complications.

Answer 3

There is a pill you can purchase. In some African villages, if you cannot afford the pill, they will not eat for about a week, once the tapeworm is quite large. Then, they will take a peice of raw meat and put it between their teeth. The tapeworm will crawl upwards, out of your intestines, through your throat, and go for the meat because it is hungry and can smell it. When the tapeworm bites the meat, the host person then grabs the meat, yanks it out along with the worm, and grabs the worms body, very quickly. Then the host will gently, as not to break the worm, pull the tapeworm out, usually around 10 feet long. If the tapeworm breaks, it will crawl back into your intestines, and the process must start over.

Answer 4

If you are talking about treating to clear a tapeworm infection, it depends on what species you are treating because tapeworms of different species are not all susceptible to the same drugs. But overall you treat with an appropriate deworming drug and the parasites will die and be passed out of the body.

Answer 5

In humans the usual treatment is niclosamide (Niclocide). But in animals (ex. dogs) use praziquantel which is found in Droncit, and Drontal Plus which you will have to get from the vet by prescription only, and Tradewinds Tapeworm Tabs which is the generic form that is available over-the-counter.

My best advice though no matter human or animal is to go see a doctor or vet. In something like this self treatment is not the best answer.
