Drontil is the brandname of praziquantel for dogs. If you gave it to your dog the worm(s) are dead. You might see them pass or you might not. It works within an hour or two, but worms take a couple of days to pass.
Tapeworms are from fleas. Keep her on Frontline to prevent them.

Yes, the dead worms will be passed in her faeces. One dose of Drontal should be all you need - but do worm every three months from now on to prevent her becoming reinfested.

when you give it to her take her outside to poop, because when she does there will be dead worm's, also read the side of the can it came in for the right amount to give her , you dont want to over medicate her , it should have side effect information on the can also,
