Does it workWhy Your GLP-1 Might Not Be Working

[SABINA] When a GLP-1 does nothing, almost half of patients point at something specific and fixable

In August 2026 we screened 45,193 unhappy reviews, effectively every GLP-1 provider review rated three stars or below, and flagged the ones reporting that the medication produced no results. 6,757 carry that classification, or 14.6% of unhappy reviews, each with the reason the reviewer gives.

24.7%

of the 6,757 reports call the product fake, a scam, or “like water”

The largest group describes no response to the medication. But almost half point at something specific, and several of those are fixable: the dose, a pharmacy that changed mid-treatment, a box that arrived warm. Before concluding the drug failed you, those are the questions to bring to a prescriber.

What this does not show

Every share here is of the classified reports, not of GLP-1 patients. This is a breakdown of complaints rather than an incidence rate, it says nothing about how often GLP-1s work overall, and four- and five-star reviews were not screened.
