The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) is the diagnostic tool used by health care practitioners to diagnose diseases and conditions. In regards to an amphetamine overdose, the ICD code is T43.6X1A. This code is defined as "poisoning by amphetamines, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter." It is important to note that this code is only to be used in the initial diagnosis of an amphetamine overdose, as subsequent encounters may require different codes depending on the severity of the overdose and any additional treatment that may have been administered.

Amphetamines are a group of synthetic stimulant drugs that have long been used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, among other medical conditions. However, due to their highly potent effects, they can be dangerous when abused or taken in excessive doses. An amphetamine overdose can lead to numerous health complications, including changes in heart rate, elevated blood pressure, extreme agitation, paranoia, and even seizures. As such, it is important for health care practitioners to accurately diagnose and document an amphetamine overdose in order to provide the most effective treatment plan.

The ICD (International Classification of Diseases) code for amphetamine overdose is T43.4. This code is used to classify the diagnosis of an overdose on amphetamines, which are a class of psychoactive drugs used for their stimulant effects. It is important for healthcare professionals to accurately record the ICD code when diagnosing and treating an amphetamine overdose so that it can be tracked and monitored appropriately.

Amphetamine overdose is classified under ICD-10 code F15.2. This code is used to classify mental and behavioural disorders due to the use of other stimulants, including cocaine and other synthetic stimulants. It is important to note that this code should only be used if the overdose is due to the use of these stimulants and not any other medical condition. In general, amphetamine overdose is a serious medical emergency and should be treated promptly.

Amphetamine overdose is classified as a poisonings and toxic effects of drugs under International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code T50.9. This code is used when the type of drug involved is unspecified and the overdose is accidental or intentional. It is important to note that this code does not take into account the underlying cause of the overdose, such as an underlying medical condition or a suicide attempt. The code should be used alongside more specific codes to accurately describe the cause and circumstances of the overdose.
