Mounjaro Acid Reflux UK – Why Heartburn Can Occur
19 February 2026 · 2 min read
Introduction
If you are experiencing acid reflux on Mounjaro, heartburn can occur as part of digestive adjustment.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) slows gastric emptying to help control appetite. This delay can sometimes increase pressure in the stomach, leading to reflux symptoms in sensitive individuals.
In most cases, symptoms are mild and manageable.
