I would like to know which medication has been proven to be the safest. I know Drontal and Cestex have very low rates of reported side effects, but I always try to guard against the worse case scenario as much as possible.

I started noticing the segments around a couple of weeks ago. There were just a couple at first. Well this morning I counted more than 30. I'm going to pick up a tablet for my 10lb cat today. The cost for the pill is $7.50. What can I expect after giving the pill? How long will it take until I don't see the little "segments" all over my house?
