Sumatriptan should not be taken by individuals with a history of heart problems, such as coronary artery disease or heart attacks, as it can constrict blood vessels and increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events. It is also contraindicated in people with uncontrolled high blood pressure, certain types of migraines like hemiplegic or basilar migraines, and those who are allergic to sumatriptan. Additionally, individuals taking MAO inhibitors or other specific medications should avoid sumatriptan due to potential drug interactions.
