T47.8: Poisoning: Other agents primarily affecting the gastrointestinal system
A substance can cause poisoning if, for example, too much of it is taken. The substance may also be administered or taken by mistake.
There are various drugs that act on the stomach or intestine. They differ in the way they act, for example. With a poisoning, the symptoms depend on such things as which drug has been taken.
