Y88: Sequelae with surgical and medical care as external cause
Y88.0: Sequelae of adverse effects caused by drugs, medicaments and biological substances in therapeutic use
The condition, Sequelae of adverse effects caused by drugs, medicaments and biological substances in therapeutic use, primarily refers to the complications or after-effects of drugs and substances intended for therapy. These sequelae can surface during or after the conclusion of the medication use, varying greatly from mild to severe, depending on the individual's reaction to the specific drug or substance. Common symptoms can include rashes, nausea, fever, breathing difficulties, or more complex manifestations like organ damage that might become apparent only over time. Although the drugs and other substances causing these adverse effects are intended for therapeutic use for managing or curing diseases, they may, in certain cases, result in undesirable secondary conditions due to the body's unpredictable responses. This condition can impact different body systems contingent on the drug involved, and the degree of severity of the patient's reaction.
