Narrowing post #3, because the general version has more than one answer.
I would call the community position on Absolute versus relative contraindications likely rather than established, and I would be comfortable defending that hedge.

Post #14 describes the usual case. This is about the unusual one.
Two things can be true about Absolute versus relative contraindications at once: the mechanism is plausible and the evidence for the size of the effect is thin. Most of the argument here is people defending the first against attacks on the second.

n.torrence, post #10: Picking up post #9: that is the part I would want checked first. I have no financial interest in anything named in this thread and I want to say so before I comment on Absolute versus relative contraindications, because it is the sort of subject where it matters. Go to post
Allergy to the specific compound: true allergy is rare but possible. Any prior allergic reaction to the same compound or to structurally similar peptides warrants caution.
That has been true for the cases I have seen and I have not seen many.
Post #41 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

An honest declaration on Absolute versus relative contraindications: I have a prior here and it is strong enough that you should weight what I say downward. Stating it rather than hiding it.
VThorvaldsen, post #8: That is clearer than the version I had in my head. Thank you. Go to post

Everything in post #76 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.
Since Absolute versus relative contraindications keeps coming up, it should probably be a maintained page rather than a recurring thread. I am happy to draft it if someone with more direct experience will review it.
The arithmetic in post #81 is right; the assumption feeding it is the part to check.
I have been on both sides of the Absolute versus relative contraindications argument in this category within eighteen months, which should tell you how strong the evidence for either side is.
