Zepbound Burps: How Can You Stop Them?

Are you experiencing those unpleasant sulfur burps while taking Zepbound? You're not alone! Tracking your symptoms just got easier with Dose AI's Symptom Tracker, which helps you monitor and understand your body's responses.

What Are Zepbound Sulfur Burps?

Sulfur burps are a common side effect of GLP-1 medications like Zepbound. Think of them like unexpected, smelly gas bubbles that can make social situations awkward. These burps happen because:

• Zepbound slows down your digestive system
• Food stays in your stomach longer
• Bacteria produce more gas during digestion
• Hydrogen sulfide creates that distinctive sulfur smell

Why Do They Happen?

Your body is adjusting to Zepbound's unique way of managing metabolism. It's like your digestive system is learning a new dance routine – sometimes there are a few missteps!
