Hi,
If you have seen what sounds like roundworms in his vomit then there are porbably many many more still inside. some of the pet shop and over the counter products are not so powerful, and I would advise using a better prescription product (in the UK use milbemax, drontal, or panacur). Roundworms have a 3 week life cycle, that is a worm egg will grow into an egg laying adult in 3 weeks. Therefore treat again for worms and repeat after 2 and again 4 weeks.
If your cat is unwell in any other way, please get him checked by your vet as there are many other causes of vomiting.
