Y41: Other systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics
Y41.3: Other antiprotozoal drugs
The ICD-10 code Y41.3 refers to complications associated with the use of other antiprotozoal drugs. Antiprotozoal drugs are medications designed to treat diseases caused by protozoa - single-celled organisms that can cause a range of infections in humans. These medications, while beneficial, can sometimes lead to adverse effects or complications. The specific nature of these complications can vary widely depending upon the drug used, the dosage administered, the duration of treatment, and individual patient factors. Common issues may include allergic reactions, digestive issues such as nausea or upset stomach, neurological effects such as headaches or dizziness, hypersensitivity responses, and even more serious effects such as liver damage or blood disorders. Monitoring by a healthcare professional is crucial whenever these medications are used to ensure safe and effective treatment.
