Why is it bad to take maxalt (rizatriptan) if you have raynaud's disease?

Constricts vessels: Maxalt (rizatriptan) relieves migraine symptoms by constricting blood vessels. In raynaud's disease, the problem is too much constriction of blood vessels, so one would not want to take a medicine that constricts vessels.
