Poisoning by non-pharmaceuticals codes
- This information pertains all the following codes:
- These are not pharmaceutical agents, and with the exception of Alcohol (ethanol), poisoning and Cocaine, overdose/toxicity, they are all exclusively poisons (for drugs see Drug or biological substance/agent NOS, overdose/toxicity)
- Do not confuse this group of codes with Template:ICD10 Guideline adverse effect or Template:ICD10 Guideline overdose
- To qualify here, there must be a threat to life, or limb, or to functioning for one or more organs.
- Note: The lack of pharmaceutical use for all the substances in this category is the reason why these codes have no counterparts for overdoses (with the excepts listed above), adverse events, etc.
See ICD10 Guideline for drugs and substances for more info on coding substance related ICD10 diagnoses.
