Poisn by antivaric drugs, inc scler agents, self-harm, subs

This code indicates a poisoning event resulting from the intentional self-harm use of medications designed to treat varicose veins or sclerosing agents. The patient is receiving follow-up care for the adverse effects of this self-inflicted drug overdose.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient who intentionally poisoned themselves with antivaricose drugs or sclerosing agents. This includes follow-up appointments for ongoing treatment of organ damage, neurological complications, or other sequelae directly resulting from the initial self-harm attempt.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and specifies the drug class (antivaricose/sclerosing agents).
• The 7th character "D" signifies a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Always code the specific manifestation of the poisoning (e.g., acute kidney failure, cardiac arrhythmia) as a primary diagnosis, with this code as a secondary diagnosis.
