WARNING: See also Side Effects and Drug Interactions section.

This medication has rarely caused a very serious (possibly fatal) lack of blood flow to the hands and feet (peripheral ischemia) or to the brain (stroke). These effects are more likely when this medication is taken with drugs (CYP 3A4 enzyme inhibitors) that affect the removal of dihydroergotamine from the body. Do not use this medication with azole antifungals (such as ketoconazole, itraconazole), macrolide antibiotics (such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, troleandomycin), or protease inhibitors (such as ritonavir, nelfinavir, indinavir). This is not a complete list. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
