1:  No previous history of HTN, normal BP in a nurse.
     After imitrex, 10 minutes later, pt developed hypertensive crisis
     with hypertesnive encephalopathy.
     The sequelae was the development of chronic hypertension.

2:  A patient with H/O Asthma.  In complete remission.
    10 minutes after imitrex develeped severe asthmatic crisis.

      We mention these as some of the most severe reactions, however, there are
 a number of milder reactions.
      In Colombia, he also tells me that there are several other types of
summatripan available other than imitrex.
Perplexing isn’t it?  We are considering writing a paper.
If you wish to speak with him before he returns, contact me by e-mail.
