A59-year-old man with a body mass index of 42 and a long history of poorly controlled hypertension was recently diagnosed with migraine headaches. Which of the following anti-migraine drugs would be contraindicated in this patient?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ergotamine. In this case, ergotamine is contraindicated due to the patient's poorly controlled hypertension. Ergotamine can cause vasoconstriction, potentially worsening hypertension and increasing the risk of cardiovascular events. Aspirin (A), acetaminophen (B), and ibuprofen (D) are safer options for migraine treatment in this patient as they do not have significant vasoconstrictive effects and are less likely to exacerbate hypertension.
