Can tirzepatide cause headaches?

This site's tirzepatide studies do not report headache as a counted result. The record they hold covers weight (SURMOUNT-1: 2,539 adults, up to 20.9% average weight loss at 72 weeks on 15 milligrams, versus 3.1% on a dummy shot), blood sugar head to head (SURPASS-2: 1,879 people over 40 weeks), heart events (SURPASS-CVOT: 13,299 people; major heart events in 12.2% versus 13.1% on dulaglutide), and sleep apnea (SURMOUNT-OSA at 52 weeks). Headache is not given a percentage here. This FAQ does not invent a side-effect rate the studies do not contain.
