ICD-10 Code for Cetirizine
I cannot provide an ICD-10 code for cetirizine because ICD-10 codes classify diseases, conditions, and symptoms—not medications. Cetirizine is a medication (a second-generation antihistamine), and medications are not assigned ICD-10 codes.
What You May Be Looking For
If You Need to Code a Condition Treated by Cetirizine:
- Allergic rhinitis (seasonal): J30.1
- Allergic rhinitis (perennial): J30.89
- Chronic idiopathic urticaria: L50.1
- Acute urticaria: L50.0
- Atopic dermatitis: L20.9
These are the primary conditions for which cetirizine is indicated as treatment 1, 2, 3.
If You Need to Document Cetirizine Administration:
- Use NDC (National Drug Code) for medication identification in pharmacy/billing systems
- Use RxNorm codes for electronic health record documentation
- For adverse reactions to cetirizine, use appropriate codes from the T36-T50 range with appropriate 5th or 6th character
Common Clinical Context:
Cetirizine 10 mg once daily is the standard adult dose for allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria 1, 2. The medication requires dose adjustment in renal impairment (halve dose if creatinine clearance 10-50 mL/min) 4.
Key Caveat
If you are trying to code for adverse effects or poisoning from cetirizine, you would use codes from the T36-T50 series (poisoning by, adverse effect of, and underdosing of drugs), but you would still need a separate code for the specific adverse effect itself (e.g., somnolence, which occurs in approximately 13.7% of patients) 5, 1.
