So today it was the tape worm tablet and she has just been sick.
I always make sure they eat something after a tablet so they don't cough it back up again as my old cat used to do this. They had some tuna.
Anyway, will this mean she is no longer protected against tape worms? I don't know if the tablet was in the sick there were cat biscuits in there too.

Firstly, were these veterinary licensed products? I've never heard of a 3 step pill dose for different worms. I would say NO they are not protected against those worms if any at all! No product on the market covers all species of worms and the ones that come the closest and cover the most are veterinary prescribed worming treatments. I would seriously consider speaking to a vets immediately to get proper worming treatment and stop wasting your money and potentially putting your babies at risk with shop/internet products that are not veterinary prescribed or recommended.
Secondly, many prescription strength treatments have side effects please be sure to go over these before you return home and give the medications to your pets so you know and you don't need ask later or worry. Worming treatments are known to cause vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. Also in some over the counter products that are not veterinary prescribed the side effects include: vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, seizures, convulsions, stroke, bleeding, and organ failure, many of these leading to death. Is it really worth buying the 'cheaper' product?
