Y45: Analgesics, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs
Y45.2: Propionic acid derivatives
The term "Propionic acid derivatives" refers to a classification of drugs, not an actual condition or disease. However, the ICD-10 code Y45.2 is typically associated with adverse effects encountered in the therapeutic use of these drugs. These are primarily anti-inflammatory medications that a person may take to manage pain or swelling. The body's reaction to these drugs can sometimes lead to unintended side effects or harmful reactions. These adverse effects can manifest in a variety of ways, ranging from mild, temporary discomforts like headaches or upset stomach, to more serious complications such as kidney issues or ulcers. Symptoms will certainly vary from person to person and depend on various factors such as dosage, duration of use, and individual health conditions.
