Is it safe to deworm my pregnant cat with worms or parasites?

Question

My cat got pregnant accidentally. Her pregnancy approximate duration is 2 months. Recently, I observed some parasites in her feces. Is it safe to deworm her with any medication? If so, which medicine would be pregnancy safe? Thank you Rusho. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 10 months old | 7.71 lbs

She can be dewormed with pyrantel pamoate, which is the active ingredient in a number of commercially available dewormers for cats - you'll need to check labels and purchase one that contains pyrantel pamoate as its only active ingredient. The kittens can also be dewormed with the same product at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks of age.
