How long do sulphur burps last after starting weight loss medication?
They happen because the medication slows down digestion, meaning more food breaks down in your stomach than usual. Sulphur is just a natural byproduct of that process.
They usually settle within the first couple of weeks as your body adjusts to eating less. If they stick around longer than that, it's worth speaking to a pharmacist.
