This is from the bottle of praziquantel tablets.  Each tablet containing 34mg.

6-10 lbs: 1 tablet
11-15 lbs.: 1 1/2 tablets
16-30 lbs.: 2 tablets
31-45 lbs.: 3 tablets
46-60 lbs. : 4 tablets
over 60 lbs.: 5 tablets

So if the dog is less than 60 lbs, perhaps it only needs 136 mg.

Also, I would assume the recommended dose would be based upon a major infestation.  If worms aren't that bad much less would probably work.

Personally, I'll just pay the $6 it costs and be done with it.  You don't treat unless there is an active problem, so it's not a recuring cost anyhow.
