These issues are not specific to ACE inhibitors. Use of most medical treatments in small animal nephrology is therefore supported by generally less convincing evidence (e.g., pathophysiological considerations or expert opinion) than clinical trials.
The most common side effect is a persistent dry cough. If you have this side effect, your doctor may prescribe a different type of medicine called an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) instead of ACE inhibitors. They work in a similar way but don’t tend to cause a cough. Other possible side effects of ACE inhibitors include:
Researchers found that calcium channel antagonists and beta blockers appear to increase the risk of mood disorders, while angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) appear to decrease the risk. Thiazide diuretics have no impact on risk of mood disorders, the study found.

ICD-10 code T88. 7 for Unspecified adverse effect of drug or medicament is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Side effects of ACE inhibitors may include:Dry cough.Increased potassium levels in the blood (hyperkalemia)Fatigue.Dizziness from blood pressure going too low.Headaches.Loss of taste.
ICD-10 code Z88. 8 for Allergy status to other drugs, medicaments and biological substances is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
We define an adverse drug reaction as "an appreciably harmful or unpleasant reaction, resulting from an intervention related to the use of a medicinal product, which predicts hazard from future administration and warrants prevention or specific treatment, or alteration of the dosage regimen, or withdrawal of the ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are heart medications that widen, or dilate, your blood vessels. That increases the amount of blood your heart pumps and lowers blood pressure. They also raise blood flow, which helps to lower your heart's workload. Examples of ACE inhibitors include: benazepril (Lotensin)
In addition to their antihypertensive actions, beta-blockers are used to manage arrhythmias and treat angina pectoris and heart failure, while ACE inhibitors provide cardioprotection in patients with acute coronary syndromes and treat congestive heart failure.
4X5A: Adverse effect of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors, initial encounter.
Lisinopril is in a class of medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by decreasing certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly. Hydrochlorothiazide is in a class of medications called diuretics ('water pills').
Lisinopril is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly.
Underdosing refers to taking less of a medication than is prescribed by a provider or a manufacturer’s instruction. Assign code (s) for the nature of the underdosing first, followed by the underdosing code: the underdosing codes are never used as a first-reported diagnosis.
An adverse effect occurs when a substance is taken according to direction , and a reaction occurs. When reporting adverse effects, first, code the nature of the adverse effect, such as: aspirin gastritis (K29.-) dermatitis due to substances taken internally (L27.-) Use additional codes for any manifestations of adverse effects.
Poisoning indicates improper use of a medication, to include overdose, wrong substance given or taken in error, or wrong route of administration. When reporting poisoning by drugs, biological, and biological substances, assign the appropriate poisoning code first, followed by the manifestation code (s). For example, a patient intentionally takes ...
Toxic effects are coded first using category codes T51 – T65. This block of codes has a guideline that states to use an additional code for associated manifestations. You still must locate these codes using the TDC. For example, rubbing alcohol is a harmful substance that is not meant to be ingested.
Adverse effect is an undesirable secondary effect of a drug properly prescribed and taken. Example: A patient is prescribed Z-Pak (azithromycin) for sinusitis. On the third day of treatment, the patient develops severe urticaria. Remember: We are now coding the undesirable secondary effect.
Underdosing is defined as taking less of a drug than is recommended by a provider or the manufacturer.
T63.014. –. –. The TDC is about more than poisoning, it also contains codes for reactions to drugs and other substances and underdosing . The TDC is also used to code other toxins, such as venom. For example, contact with a Portuguese man o’ war or a jellyfish is located under Venom, venomous (bite) (sting) in the TDC.
Nonprescription drug or medicinal agent taken with a prescription drug (properly taken) with resulting reaction. A patient presents to the ER with a nosebleed. It is determined that the patient was poisoned with Zantac and suffered an interaction with the patient’s prescribed Coumadin.
Poisoning codes are sequenced first. You can remember this by thinking of what is addressed first when the patient presents: the poisoning. Poisoning can happen in many different circumstances. Four situations are provided in the ICD-10-CM guidelines:
Here’s how to tell the difference: Poisoning is the improper use of medication. Toxic effects are also coded using the TDC. Toxic effects occur when a harmful substance is ingested or comes in contact with a person. An adverse effect occurs when a drug has been correctly prescribed and properly administered.
