My cat has tapeworms. Is her medicine working or does she need more?

Question

I found tapeworm segments in my cat's bedding last week and 2 live worms on her butt. I gave her prolabs tapeworm tabs on Saturday and cleaned my apartment and used a flea spray on all the surfaces. Today I found what looks like a dried up worm in her bed. Is the medicine working or do I need to give her another dose? She was adopted last year and they only gave her front line plus and strongid t at the shelter. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 lbs

That means the medication is working, as you can frequently see dead worms after a treatment. Godive will need another deworming treatment in two weeks to kill all the worms, and I would give her another dose then.
