Poisoning by oth drugs acting on muscles, self-harm, subs

This code signifies an adverse event resulting from the deliberate self-administration of a non-specified muscle relaxant or other drug primarily affecting muscle function, with the intent to cause harm. The patient is receiving follow-up care for the sequelae of this poisoning after the initial treatment phase.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of complications (e.g., muscle weakness, respiratory depression, organ damage) stemming from an intentional overdose of a muscle-acting drug. This includes situations where the patient is admitted for rehabilitation, long-term monitoring, or treatment of persistent side effects.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was intentional self-harm and that this is not the initial encounter for treatment.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific manifestations or complications of the poisoning.
• Consider additional codes for psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression, suicidal ideation) if documented and treated.
