Y47: Sedatives, hypnotics and antianxiety drugs
Y47.2: Cloral derivatives
Y47.2 corresponds to health issues related to the misuse of chloral derivatives. These substances, often found in sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs, can lead to significant health issues when used improperly. Symptoms of misuse can range from mood changes, sleep disruption, and cognitive issues to more serious physical challenges such as headaches, rapid heartbeat, and gastrointestinal problems. Users can also build a tolerance to these drugs, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effects, and this can often lead to addiction and withdrawal complications. Misuse of chloral derivatives can also lead to more serious health risks, including damage to the liver, cardiovascular system, and nervous system. The adverse effects can be acute, manifesting shortly after misuse, or chronic, developing over a longer period of repeated misuse.
