Poisn by oth nonopio analges/antipyret, NEC, self-harm, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects resulting from the deliberate ingestion or exposure to non-opioid pain relievers or fever reducers, excluding those specifically categorized elsewhere. The intent behind this poisoning is self-harm, indicating a suicidal or self-injurious act.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient intentionally overdosed on over-the-counter or prescription non-opioid analgesics or antipyretics (e.g., ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen, aspirin, excluding opioids) with the explicit purpose of self-harm. This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment of this poisoning.

• Always confirm the intent of self-harm is documented; otherwise, an accidental poisoning code would be more appropriate.
• Ensure the specific substance is a non-opioid analgesic or antipyretic not classified under more specific T39 codes.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for care related to the poisoning.
