Tapeworms were banned in the United States in 1920. This prohibition was part of a broader effort to regulate weight-loss products and practices that were deemed unsafe or ineffective. Tapeworms were once marketed as a weight-loss aid, but their use posed significant health risks, leading to their eventual ban by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Does the Weight B Gone Tapeworm pill really work?

If the pill uses a real tapeworm, yes it will work, but it is not the healthiest way to lose weight. In the 19th Century women swallowed tapeworms on purpose, allowing them to eat all they wanted without gaining weight. However, unless the tapeworm is killed it will take all the nutrition and the host will slowly starve. According to what I just read, the FDA has recently banned the marketing of tapeworms in the US.

Why don't tapeworms die out with medication?

Because of environmental contamination. Tapeworms shed eggs into the environment and those eggs then turn into the next generation of tapeworms. Treatment of tapeworms with medication only kill the adult tapeworms currently residing in that animal, but the environment and other animals remain a source of eggs and adult tapeworms.
