flag A man had a severe allergic reaction to a back pain drug he’d taken for two years, prompting doctors to warn against restarting it.

flag A 27-year-old man with no prior allergies suffered sudden anaphylactic shock after two years of taking methocarbamol (Robaxin) for back pain, requiring hospitalization. flag Though anaphylaxis is usually triggered by foods or insect stings, medications like methocarbamol can cause it even after long-term use without prior issues. flag Experts suspect methocarbamol as the cause due to timing and lack of other triggers, advising against restarting the drug due to high recurrence risk. flag Methocarbamol is not recommended for long-term use as effectiveness may decline. flag Candle smoke may irritate airways in sensitive people but is not linked to anaphylaxis.
