Does Mounjaro cause sulphur burps?
Why 'egg burps' happen on Mounjaro and Wegovy, and simple ways to reduce them.
Sulphur-smelling burps are a commonly reported side effect of GLP-1 and dual-agonist medicines such as Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide). These medicines slow stomach emptying, so food stays in the stomach longer.
Eating smaller meals, reducing fatty foods and avoiding fizzy drinks may help.
