T46.2X1 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of poisoning by other antidysrhythmic drugs, accidental (unintentional). The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

Clinical Information
Ajmaline
an alkaloid found in the root of rauwolfia serpentina, among other plant sources. it is a class 1-a antiarrhythmic agent that apparently acts by changing the shape and threshold of cardiac action potentials.Amiodarone
an antianginal and class iii antiarrhythmic drug. it increases the duration of ventricular and atrial muscle action by inhibiting potassium channels and voltage-gated sodium channels. there is a resulting decrease in heart rate and in vascular resistance.Aprindine
a class ib anti-arrhythmia agent used to manage ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias.Bunaftine
n-butyl-n-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl)-1-naphthamide. a proposed antiarrhythmic that prolongs myocardial refractory period and stabilizes cell membranes.Disopyramide
a class i anti-arrhythmic agent (one that interferes directly with the depolarization of the cardiac membrane and thus serves as a membrane-stabilizing agent) with a depressant action on the heart similar to that of guanidine. it also possesses some anticholinergic and local anesthetic properties.Encainide
one of the anti-arrhythmia agents, it blocks voltage-gated sodium channels and slows conduction within the his-purkinje system and myocardium.Flecainide
a potent anti-arrhythmia agent, effective in a wide range of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias and tachycardias.Lorajmine
a monochloroacetyl derivative of ajmaline. it is a class ia antiarrhythmic agent that is rapidly hydrolyzed to ajmaline by plasma and tissue esterases.Mexiletine
antiarrhythmic agent pharmacologically similar to lidocaine. it may have some anticonvulsant properties.Procainamide
a class ia antiarrhythmic drug that is structurally-related to procaine.Propafenone
an antiarrhythmia agent that is particularly effective in ventricular arrhythmias. it also has weak beta-blocking activity.Quinidine
an optical isomer of quinine, extracted from the bark of the chinchona tree and similar plant species. this alkaloid dampens the excitability of cardiac and skeletal muscles by blocking sodium and potassium currents across cellular membranes. it prolongs cellular action potentials, and decreases automaticity. quinidine also blocks muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic neurotransmission.Tocainide
an antiarrhythmic agent which exerts a potential- and frequency-dependent block of sodium channels.
Coding Guidelines
When coding a poisoning or reaction to the improper use of a medication (e.g., overdose, wrong substance given or taken in error, wrong route of administration), first assign the appropriate code from categories T36-T50. The poisoning codes have an associated intent as their 5th or 6th character (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault and undetermined. If the intent of the poisoning is unknown or unspecified, code the intent as accidental intent. The undetermined intent is only for use if the documentation in the record specifies that the intent cannot be determined. Use additional code(s) for all manifestations of poisonings.
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system (T46). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.

Table of Drugs and Chemicals
The code is referenced in the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, this table contains a classification of drugs, industrial solvents, corrosive gases, noxious plants, pesticides, and other toxic agents.
According to ICD-10-CM coding guidelines it is advised to do not code directly from the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, instead always refer back to the Tabular List when doing the initial coding. Each substance in the table is assigned a code according to the poisoning classification and external causes of adverse effects. It is important to use as many codes as necessary to specify all reported drugs, medicinal or chemical substances. If the same diagnosis code describes the causative agent for more than one adverse reaction, poisoning, toxic effect or underdosing, utilize the code only once.
Patient Education
Medication Errors
Medicines treat infectious diseases, prevent problems from chronic diseases, and ease pain. But medicines can also cause harmful reactions if not used correctly. Errors can happen in the hospital, at the health care provider's office, at the pharmacy, or at home. You can help prevent errors by:
- Knowing your medicines. When you get a prescription, ask the name of the medicine and check to make sure that the pharmacy gave you the right medicine. Make sure that you understand how often you should take the medicine and how long you should take it.
- Keeping a list of medicines.
- Write down all of the medicines that you are taking, including the names of your medicines, how much you take, and when you take them. Make sure to include any over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbs that you take.
- List the medicines that you are allergic to or that have caused you problems in the past.
- Take this list with you every time you see a health care provider.
- Reading medicine labels and following the directions. Don't just rely on your memory - read the medication label every time. Be especially careful when giving medicines to children.
- Asking questions. If you don't know the answers to these questions, ask your health care provider or pharmacist:
- Why am I taking this medicine?
- What are the common side effects?
- What should I do if I have side effects?
- When should I stop this medicine?
- Can I take this medicine with the other medicines and supplements on my list?
- Do I need to avoid certain foods or alcohol while taking this medicine?
