A roundworm dewormer or any other broad spectrum dewormer such as Drontal should take care of the intestinal worms (Nematodes), the eimeria might be an accidental finding, it's usually non pathogenic in dogs (some species are but quite rare), i would ignore that for now unless your dog suffers from severe diarrhoea.
