Depends on the pill: And the delivery system the persons metabolism etc. Nitroglycerin under the tongue-a few seconds Ativan (lorazepam) ingested as fast as when it is ingested--other pills may take much longer.

Depends: Depends upon a variety of factors including what's in your stomach, what kind of chemical you are taking and how that chemical is "packaged" all other things aside, it generally takes at least 15 and more like 30 minutes to see effects from most meds under good conditions.
