T47.6X1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by antidiarrheal drugs, accidental (unintentional). It belongs to category T47 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of agents primarily affecting the gastrointestinal system), block T36-T50 (poisoning by, adverse effects of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T47.6X (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of antidiarrheal drugs), T47.6X1 is specifically for poisoning by antidiarrheal drugs, accidental (unintentional).
