Poisoning by antipruritics, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or condition that resulted from an intentional poisoning by an antipruritic medication. The original poisoning was a deliberate act of harm against the patient, and the sequela is the lasting effect of that event.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic or residual condition directly attributable to an antipruritic poisoning that occurred as an assault. This would be used after the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is experiencing ongoing complications.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past assaultive antipruritic poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this is specifically for sequelae.
