I have been prescribed Albendazole and Praziquantel, if the medication is successful, will the entire tapeworm come out of my anus, several feet long?

How do you know that you have a tapeworm infestation? And even if you have then after taking the medication the worms would pass out along with the feces but mostly not in one piece but in fragments or dissolved form. You don't need to worry about that.
