Advrs effect of antigonadtr/antiestr/antiandrg, NEC, sequela

This code describes a long-term or residual condition resulting from a past adverse effect of medications that suppress gonadotropins, estrogens, or androgens. These are typically hormonal agents used in various treatments, and the sequela indicates a permanent or chronic health problem directly attributable to the prior adverse drug event.

Use this code when a patient presents with a chronic or permanent condition that is a direct consequence of a previous adverse reaction to an antigonadotropin, antiestrogen, or antiandrogen medication. This applies when the acute adverse effect has resolved, but a lasting complication remains, such as persistent organ damage or endocrine dysfunction.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) for the specific residual condition(s).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current chronic condition to a past adverse effect of the specified drug classes.
• Do not use this code for acute adverse effects; instead, use the appropriate acute adverse effect code.
