This template is used for the dxs in the Category:Adverse effect to consistently explain how to use them.

To use:

Overdose/toxicity codes

This category is in relation to pharmaceuticals and other biological substances (as opposed to Category:Poisoning by non-pharmaceuticals)
To qualify for these codes, there must be a threat to life, or limb, or to functioning for one or more organs AND there was an INAPPROPRIATE dosing regimen -- thus the threat was a consequence of an overdose
- e.g. opioid overdose can cause respiratory arrest or shock, both of which can be life threats
- e.g. acetominophen overdose puts the liver at risk of failing
There is no assumption here about whether the overdose was accidental or not -- if it was a suicide attempt, then you should link the overdose code with Suicide attempt (intentional self-harm)
In addition to a number of codes for specific agents (e.g. insulin), or classes of agents (e.g. beta-blockers) there are several levels of “wastebasket” codes -- the final, all-encompassing wastebasket here is Drug or biological substance/agent NOS, overdose/toxicity

Overdose/toxicity codes are to be used for drugs that have been used at an inappropriate dose or frequency, or in a recreational /non-prescription use setting.

Overdose codes:
Acetaminophen (tylenol, paracematol), overdose/toxicity Anesthetic gas, overdose/toxicity Anti-arrhythmic, overdose/toxicity Antibiotic/antimicrobial, overdose/toxicity Anticoagulant, overdose/toxicity Antidepressant drug NOS, overdose/toxicity Antineoplastic/chemotherapy or immunosuppressive drugs, overdose/toxicity Antiseizure drug NOS, overdose/toxicity Aspirin or other salicylate or NSAID, overdose/toxicity Benzodiazepine, overdose/toxicity Beta-blocker, overdose/toxicity Calcium channel blocker, overdose/toxicity Cardiac/cardiovascular drug NOS, overdose/toxicity Cocaine, overdose/toxicity Drug or biological substance/agent NOS, overdose/toxicity Hallucinogen, overdose/toxicity Hormone or hormone agonist NOS, overdose/toxicity Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS Insulin or other antidiabetes drug, overdose/toxicity Neuromuscular blocker/paralytic, overdose/toxicity Observation for SUSPECTED overdose Opioid/narcotic, overdose/toxicity Psychiatric drug NOS, overdose/toxicity Sedative or hypnotic, overdose/toxicity Thrombolytic drug, overdose/toxicity Tricyclic antidepressant, overdose/toxicity

For bad outcomes caused by drugs that had been used appropriately, in most cases a counterpart dx will exits in:

Adverse effect codes:
Acetaminophen (tylenol, paracematol), adverse effect Anesthetic gas, adverse effect Anti-arrhythmic, adverse effect Antibiotic/antimicrobial, adverse effect Anticoagulant, adverse effect Antidepressant drug NOS, adverse effect Antineoplastic/chemotherapy or immunosuppressive drugs, adverse effect Antiseizure drug NOS, adverse effect Aspirin or other salicylate or NSAID, adverse effect Benzodiazepine, adverse effect Beta-blocker, adverse effect Calcium channel blocker drug, adverse effect Cardiac/cardiovascular drug NOS, adverse effect Drug or biological substance/agent NOS, adverse effect Hallucinogen, adverse effect Hormone or hormone agonist drug, adverse effect Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS Insulin or antidiabetic drug, adverse effect Neuromuscular blocker/paralytic, adverse effect Opioid/narcotic, adverse effect Psychiatric drug NOS, adverse effect Sedative or hypnotic, adverse effect Thrombolytic drug, adverse effect Tricyclic antidepressant, adverse effect Xray contrast agent, adverse effect
