Tapeworm treatment - does the full double dose have to be given at exactly the same time?

Just wondering if anyone knows if I can give a double dose of pyrantel over a couple of days rather than all at once. It's easier to put in her feed but two tubes might well put her off....
I can ask Westgate next week if no-one knows! Thanks

All at once. And in feed not ideal as can’t be sure eat all of it and a half dose would increase resistance. I’d grin and bear syringing it in. Train with empty tube and apple sauce.

Then 3 tubes apple sauce, 1 wormer.
Repeat, 3 tubes apple sauce, 2nd wormer.
