Adverse effect to amiodarone

[ridenut]

I CANNOT FIND AMIODARONE IN THE INDEX -TABLE OF DRUGS - HELP
Our patient had an adverse effect due to therapudic use correctly administered.
Does anyone know if this goes by another name or where to look for help on the E code??

Brand name Cordarone from the expanded table of drugs and chemicals for adverse effect use E942.0 code first the effect followed by the E code

Adverse effects to amiodarone

Thanks but I am not finding Cordarone in the table of drugs either - what am I missing??

 

[mitchellde]

It is a fairly new drug and is not in the table in the regular ICD 9 book. Channel Publishing has a book called the expanded table of drugs and chemicals, I buy one every year. It is in this book.

Thanks - never heard of it - I guess google it or do you know a good place to buy it?

I'd go with Debra. cardiac- rhythm regulators. adverse effect + e942.0.

The expanded table of drugs and chemicals you can purchase from Channel,
their website is www.channelpublishing.com It is usually on sale.

Thanks - I appreciate the direction on this and will order the expanded list. By the way the adverse effect is ARDS.
