ABSTRACT

Sumatriptan is a drug used for migraine which can produce coronary vasoconstriction. The case of a 50-year-old male with no history of cardiovascular disease who suffered an acute myocardial infarction, of non-atherosclerotic cause, as a result of the subcutaneous administration of this drug is reported. The patient did not show complications after drug withdrawal.
