My cat has white worms after Advocate. Can I use Profender safely?

Question

I have just used the advocate flea, heartworm and worm treatment on my cat. But I think he actually has worms now. Can I use the profender all wormer at the same time? I keep finding these small white ish things coming off him and have seen them around his bum. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 4 years and 7 months old

Advocate does not treat for these specific type of worms- tapeworms. And tapeworms come from your pet either ingesting an infected flea or eating another pets poop that has tapeworms in it. You can give the profender a minimum of 2 after giving another topical flea preventative, since it is an intestinal worm treatment only. So if it has been at least 2 full days now, you can go ahead and apply the Profender and its best to keep Morph on Advocate monthly to prevent re-infection. I hope that you resolve your flea problem soon! Best wishes and take care. : )
