Pt came into the clinic with mild side effects from taking Chantix for smoking cessation. Per the ICD-9-CM guidelines, you are to report an E code from the therapeutic use column of the Table of Drugs and Chemicals secondary to the code(s) for the side effects/adverse effect.

Can anyone tell me please what E code you would use for therapuetic use of Chantix? I have searched the Table of Drugs and Chemicals and the Index without any luck.

Thanks.
 
Not sure what drug class Chantix would be considered, but you might be able to call the manufacturer and ask them what they recommend; they often have support lines for questions such as this :)
