For the treatment of tape worm a medicine called praziquantel is prescribed. It works by dissolving the tape worm present in the patients intestine. Most people take this medication with no complications or undesirable effects. It may however need multiple doses to be fully effective and remove the tape worm

There is a special prescription medication designed to kill the tape worm, but if this does not work, then some worms have to be removed surgically. If you think you have a tape worm, see the doctor immediately; there is no over the counter solution for this serious and dangerous problem.
