Poisoning by oth estrogens and progstrn, accidental, init

This code signifies an accidental overdose or adverse reaction to estrogen or progestogen medications, such as oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, during the initial phase of treatment. The patient's symptoms are directly attributable to the unintended ingestion or administration of these specific hormonal agents.

Apply this code when a patient presents to an emergency department or clinic with acute symptoms resulting from an accidental ingestion of estrogen or progestogen, such as a child mistakenly taking birth control pills or an adult unintentionally taking a double dose of hormone therapy. This code is appropriate for the first encounter related to this specific poisoning event.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was accidental and involves an estrogen or progestogen.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the poisoning event; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
• Always code the specific manifestation of the poisoning (e.g., nausea, vomiting, abnormal bleeding) in addition to this code.
