Administer to your puppies FOR ONE DAY ; ONE DOSE ; EVERY 2 WEEKS at 2,4,6,8,12 weeks.
Current recommendations from the CDC and the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists are to provide deworming medications against roundworms and hookworms at 2 weeks of age, repeating the dewormer every 2 weeks until the pups are 2 months old.

The Columbia Labs and Oral Pro bottles are quite simply very inexpensive compared to all the tablet brands you can purchase with the same amount of pyrantel pamoate.
ABOUT THE CALCULATION
Puppies UNDER 5 lbs. require a higher dose per pound than those OVER 5 lbs. of pyrantel pamoate. This calculation computes a 4.55 mg/lb dosage when a dog is under 5 lbs. When a dog is over 5 lbs, the calculator computes with a dosage of 2.27 mg/lb.
At 6 weeks, consider fenbendazole for your puppies. You can find a fenbendazole dosage calculator here.
