[Myocardial infarction after taking zolmitriptan].
Zolmitriptan is a drug used in the acute treatment of migraine, which should not be used in high cardiovascular risk individuals because of its potential to induce vasospasm. We report a rare case of myocardial infarction precipitated by taking zolmitriptan.
