The drug of choice for tapeworm infection is niclosamide, but praziquantel and albendazole can also be used.
Laxative use or induced vomiting are contraindicated because of the danger of autoinfection and systemic disease.
After drug treatment, tapeworm infestation requires a follow-up laboratory examination of stool specimens during the next 3 to 5 weeks to check for any remaining ova or worm segments. Persistent infestation typically requires a second course of medication.
