Is this due to incorrect dosing of a drug or was the drug taken as prescribed. It matters because the answer will change.

This was due to a recent change in BP medication that was taken correctly.
Hope this helps.

Yes it does!
If it is a documented low blood pressure after taking the meds then it would be
796.3
E942.4
If it is documented as hypotension then
458.9
E942.4

Would 909.5 be used for effects of the medication with 796.3 and then use the E code E942.6. I have always been told that use E codes only with 800 and 900 series of codes. Just a thought!

No it is not a late effect, it is the current effect. E codes can be used with any codes in the book when applicable they are not restricted to use with 800 and 900 level codes. A lay effect would be a residual condition that hangs on after the current condition has been treated and resolved.
