Abstract

We present a case of a patient with low back pain, in which the use of inadequately selected pharmacotherapy resulted in increased pain intensity. The case study showed that the most likely cause of the pain exacerbation was the use of pridinol. Due to the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, pridinol should not be administered as a first line drug to patients with pain, what is additionally associated with the anticholinergic effect of the drug, which impairs the activity of supraspinal antinociceptive cholinergic pathways.
