T88.7: Unspecified adverse effect of drug or medicament

Unspecified adverse effect of a drug or medicament refers to an unexpected, harmful reaction that occurs due to the administration of a medication. This condition might occur while the medication is being used in normal amounts or even during an overdose. The individual might exhibit various symptoms related to this condition which can alter based on the specific drug that caused the adverse effect. Potential symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, skin rashes, dizziness, changes in heart rate or blood pressure, mood changes, and many others. Notably, an unspecified adverse effect does not always imply that the medication was used incorrectly but suggests that the body has reacted negatively to its introduction or the dosage. The medical condition can affect any body system depending upon the drug involved and its impact on the body. This situation emphasizes the need to closely monitor an individual's response to a new medication or changes in the dosage.
