When should I seek immediate care?
You may remain symptom-free for up to 24 hours after taking a toxic overdose of acetaminophen. After this initial period, the following symptoms are common: Nausea; Vomiting; Not feeling well
An overdose of acetaminophen is a common cause of liver damage. This can be serious and even deadly if not treated. Adults should not take more than 4,000 milligrams (mg) of acetaminophen in 24 hours. According to the American Liver Foundation, you should not take more than 3,000 mg a day for longer than several weeks.
Tylenol PM is only for short-term use until your symptoms clear up. Do not take more of this medicine than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death. Taking too much diphenhydramine can lead to serious heart problems, seizures, coma, or death. Tylenol PM is not for use in anyone younger than 12 years old.

If used in proper therapeutic doses, acetaminophen has an excellent safety profile; however, its major side effect is hepatotoxicity, which can occur after overdose or misuse. This is because acetaminophen is metabolized in the liver.
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 .
ICD-10 code Z51 for Encounter for other aftercare and medical care is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Acetaminophen (Tylenol®) toxicity is a common cause of acute liver failure in children and adolescents.
All of the harmful effects of acetaminophen have been attributed to the production of its toxic metabolite, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI).
When coding an adverse effect of a drug that has been correctly prescribed and properly administered, assign the appropriate code for the nature of the adverse effect followed by the appropriate code for the adverse effect of the drug (T36-T50).
An adverse effect occurs when a substance is taken according to direction, and a reaction occurs. Use additional codes for any manifestations of adverse effects. For example, a patient took an dose of penicillin that was prescribed correctly, but which resulted in projectile vomiting: the first code is T36.
ICD-10-PCS GZ3ZZZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.

You should use this table to identify poisonings and external causes of adverse effects. The Tabular List is presented in code number order. Since all ICD-10-CM codes start with a letter, all code categories are in alphabetical order according to the first characters. The chart below provides the Tabular List chapters.
T61 Toxic effect of noxious substances eaten as seafood. T62 Toxic effect of other noxious substances eaten as food. T63 Toxic effect of contact with venomous animals and plants. T64 Toxic effect of aflatoxin and other mycotoxin food contaminants.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.

The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T62 became effective on October 1, 2020.
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.
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.
Underdosing is defined as taking less of a drug than is recommended by a provider or the manufacturer.
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.
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.
