I would say Yes, as long as the documentation states this is a reaction to the medication the pt was taking, you would also have to code the nausea and constipation.

Yes, you can bill T50.995A for medication side effects like nausea and constipation, but you should code the symptoms first (R11.0, K59.00), followed by the T-code to show they were caused by the drug.
