Y45: Analgesics, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs
Y45.3: Other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAID]
Y45.3 is a medical code related to adverse effects caused by the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (often known as NSAIDs), excluding those stated elsewhere. NSAIDs are medications widely used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and bring down fever. While these drugs are often helpful, they can cause side effects in some people. Adverse effects can range from mild to severe and may include symptoms such as stomach pain, heartburn, and nausea. They might also lead to more serious internal complications like bleeding or ulcers in the stomach or intestines. In rare cases, NSAIDs could potentially affect the kidneys or heart function. These effects aren't typically intended outcomes of the medication, but unfortunate reactions that some individuals may have. The conditions under this classification are not transmitted from person to person, rather they stem from personal adverse reactions to these drugs.
