hi, There are deworming products (antihelmintics) which are effective for more than one type and save you from multiple meds. Profender is a very good wide range product that easy to apply as it is a spot on. Drontal cat / Milbemax kitten are a tablet form. All those examples are meds that should be given in a correct dose according to weight and age please obtain the necessary medication from your veterinarian. You should never try to medicate with over-the-counter dewormers without checking first with your veterinarian, especially with kittens.
