Pt has hypotension d/t taking too high a dosage of Ramipril. Tried to find the poisoning codes in the table of drugs and chemicals, and I cannot find it using Ramipril, ACE inhibitors, generic name of Altace, or anything similar. What else could I use for finding the drug in this table? Thank you.

Lance, I use Antihypertensive agents NEC 972.6.
 
per the expanded table of drug and chemicals the code for the poisoning is 972.6 and E code E858.3
for improper dosing you code the poisoning code first
so the 972.6 followed by the hypotension followed by the E858.3
 
Thank you

Thanks to both of you. That's what happens when I think too hard - forget the "easy" answer of the hypertensive drug NEC.
