I foster and have had several dogs with tapeworm
I hate them with a passion and am super grossed out by them. My last foster had them badly and we couldnt get in for a several days with any of the vets I see and I couldnt deal with living with worms for days. I tried one at petco unfortunately I cant remember the name but it was for tapeworms only and it worked great. It was one pill and they were gone in less than a day. I agree to try to find a vet first though.
