My puppy has tapeworm. Best safe all-in-one parasite control?

Question

My puppy is 5 months old, 21 lbs, and she is a boarder collie/ husky/ Australian Shepard mix. I just found tapeworm in her bowl movement yesterday afternoon and she has had two does of Sentinel. I adopted her when she was 9 wks old. What would be the best medicication to put her on to protect her against all worms/fleas/ticks and that is also safe? I am a first time dog owner, any information would be great. Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 27 days old | 21 lbs

The dewormer i usually recommend is called Drontal plus, bear in mind that unlike the flea/tick products, dewormers do not protect your dog from future infestation, it only kills the worms on spot. for fleas and ticks i usually recommend Bravecto tablet or Advantix spot on. all these medications are considered to be high quality and safe.
