Why should Maxalt not be prescribed?

If Maxalt gives you an allergic reaction, you won't be able to use it. You should also avoid Maxalt if you have certain types of heart or blood vessel disease, including angina (crushing chest pain) or a history of heart attack. Do not use it if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Never take Maxalt within 24 hours of using an ergotamine-type migraine medication such as dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, or methylsergide, or a drug in the same family as Maxalt, such as naratriptan, sumatriptan, or zolmitriptan. You should also refrain from using Maxalt within 2 weeks of taking an MAO inhibitor such as the antidepressants isocarboxazid, phenelzine, and tranylcypromine.
