About T48.0X3

T48.0X3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by oxytocic drugs, assault. It belongs to category T48 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of agents primarily acting on smooth and skeletal muscles and the respiratory 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 T48.0X (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of oxytocic drugs), T48.0X3 is specifically for poisoning by oxytocic drugs, assault.
