Y42: Hormones and their synthetic substitutes and antagonists, not elsewhere classified
Y42.6: Antigonadotrophins, antiestrogens, antiandrogens, not elsewhere classified
The ICD-10 code Y42.6 denotes adverse effects that are related to the intake of antigonadotrophins, antiestrogens, and antiandrogens that are not classified elsewhere. These medications are typically taken to control or modify hormone levels within the body. The antiandrogens are taken to suppress the effects of androgens or male hormones, while the antigonadotrophins and antiestrogens are taken to inhibit the actions of gonadotrophins and estrogens respectively. Adverse effects arising from these medications can vary widely, spanning from mild symptoms such as nausea or headaches to severe health complications like liver damage or cardiovascular issues. An individual might also experience changes in their mood, weight, and overall health. It's important to remember that these symptoms are a consequence of the body's negative reaction to these substances, and not the diseases these substances are meant to treat or control.
