A 44-year-old man was administered Niflec® containing macrogol 4000 as a bowel cleanser for colonoscopic examination. Immediately after ingestion, he experienced oral cavity discomfort and nasal congestion, followed by acute urticaria and presyncope. His systolic blood pressure and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation dropped to 66mmHg and 89%, respectively. Fluid infusion, as well as steroid and epinephrine administration, improved his symptoms. Skin prick tests were then performed using Niflec®, macrogol 4000, and Actosin® ointment (containing macrogol 4000), all of which were positive. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with anaphylactic shock caused by macrogol 4000 included in Niflec®. Macrogol present in bowel cleansers used for colonoscopy rarely causes anaphylactic shock. However, clinicians need to be mindful of this risk. Prompt and appropriate treatment is needed should this condition occur.
