Methocarbamol IVPB vs. IV Push

Historically we have always given IV methocarbamol via IVPB rather than IV push. With the fluid shortages, one of the pharmacists inquired if we should consider IV push. The recommended rate from the PI is 300mg/min. Does anyone have good experience with giving methocarbamol IV push?
