Y10: Poisoning by and exposure to nonopioid analgesics, antipyretics and antirheumatics, undetermined intent

Poisoning by and exposure to nonopioid analgesics, antipyretics, and antirheumatics with undetermined intent encompasses a group of conditions where a person has taken or been exposed to these type of drugs and it is unclear why it happened. Nonopioid analgesics, antipyretics, and antirheumatics are medications typically used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and treat inflammatory conditions like arthritis. When these drugs are taken in excessively high amounts or used improperly, this can lead to poisoning. Symptoms may vary widely depending on the specific drug involved but often include stomach pain, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, and sometimes more serious signs like seizures or difficulty breathing. The progression of these conditions can also vary greatly, ranging from mild to severe or life-threatening. Often, multiple body systems are affected, like the digestive system due to nausea and vomiting and the central nervous system due to dizziness, disorientation, or seizures.
