Can you get a poop picture?

Tape worm are segmented. Sometimes there are segments in the droppings. They may look like small grains of rice.

I believe roundworm eggs require a microscope to be seen.

I’ve used Wazine and I think the directions say you are supposed to use it twice. You give them a second dose 10 days later, at least that’s what I recall.

All dewormer need a follow up dose 10-12 days after first dose to kill the life cycle of the worms. Wazine kills only round worms. Follow up with a broad spectrum dewormer that increases coverage.

You didnt mention anything about eggs in poop in your other thread that you started.
You need a microscope to see worm eggs, they are invisible to the naked eye.
However, what you might be seeing are tapeworm segments. They look like white rice and if you look close enough, they slowly crawl around.
Here's a pic. Is this what you're seeing? If so, you'll need to buy Equimax equine paste to eliminate the tapeworms. If they arnt tapeworm segments, then you're seeing maggots, then check for fly strike.

It would really help if you posted a photo so we could identify what you're seeing. If it's tapeworm segments you're seeing, as in the the above photo, treatment is Equmax equine paste which can be purchased at a feed store.
Here's a link showing the Equimax dosage for your convenience, post #1:
