This is a common side effect and can occur in up to 1 in 10 people taking Mounjaro or Wegovy. You’re most likely to experience heartburn when you first start your medication and when you increase your dose.
Heartburn typically feels like a burning sensation behind your breastbone or a sour taste in your mouth. Here’s what we recommend:
- Reducing your caffeine intake
- Don’t eat too close before you go to bed
- Avoid rich, spicy, or fatty foods
- Heartburn medication
