Based on the patient reports provided, there is very limited information specifically about how long a GLP-1 pill takes to work, as most discussions revolve around injectable forms. One patient mentioned considering splitting "weight pills" but did not discuss their efficacy or onset. Regarding weight loss differences, some patients reported varying experiences with different GLP-1 medications. One patient on tirzepatide reported losing nine pounds in three weeks, while another on semaglutide lost seven pounds over nine weeks. A different patient on compound sema lost 12 pounds over 11 shots after an initial period of no weight loss. These are individual experiences and do not provide a direct comparison of overall weight loss efficacy between different medications or forms.

Patient · GLP-1 · r/GLP1
"I lost ZERO weight the first four shots and was feeling very discouraged, then something just sorted itself out? ... Overall I'm really happy with the progress after 11 shots (just did my 11th) because I was intentionally trying to stay low dose and go slow. I'm doing 12 units of compound sema (."
