Poisoning by oral contraceptives, accidental, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or residual effect resulting from an accidental overdose or ingestion of oral contraceptives. The initial poisoning event has resolved, but the patient is experiencing ongoing health issues directly attributable to that past exposure.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained, unintentional poisoning by oral contraceptive medications. This is used when the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is being treated for the chronic or lasting impact.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past accidental oral contraceptive poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning; refer to the appropriate acute poisoning code for the initial event.
