Y46: Antiepileptics and antiparkinsonism drugs
Y46.1: Oxazolidinediones
Oxazolidinediones are a type of medication used in controlling high blood sugar levels, especially in individuals suffering from type 2 diabetes. Adverse events associated with this medication fall under the ICD-10 code Y46.1. Overdosage or misuse of oxazolidinediones may lead to hypoglycemia, a condition characterized by excessively low blood sugar levels. Symptoms of hypoglycemia may include dizziness, weakness, confusion, shaking, and in severe cases, seizures and unconsciousness. Other side effects of oxazolidinediones may include weight gain, fluid retention which can lead to or worsen heart failure, and an increase in the risk for fractures. In rare cases, it might also affect the liver, causing jaundice, loss of appetite, or dark urine. The impact of this medication varies from person to person. It is crucial to maintain regular medical check-ups to monitor any potential changes in the body's response to the drug.
