Y44.3: Anticoagulant antagonists, vitamin K and other coagulants

The condition associated with the ICD-10 code Y44.3 refers to adverse effects in therapeutic use of anticoagulant antagonists, vitamin K and other coagulants. These are a class of drugs that are used to prevent or treat blood clots. However, like most drugs, they can have side effects or cause unexpected responses in some patients. These adverse effects can present as unusual bleeding or bruising, blood in urine or stool, or excessive menstrual flow in women. Other symptoms may include dizziness, weakness, or adverse reactions at the injection site. These symptoms are primarily due to an over- or under-active effect of the medication leading to improper clotting of blood. These unwanted effects are not due to intentional overdose or misuse of the medication, but occur during normal therapeutic use. It is important to remember that these effects can have a significant impact on a person's health, and any unusual symptoms should be promptly reported to a healthcare professional.
