ICD-11 code : 6C48.2;
Preferred Label : Caffeine intoxication;
ICD-11 definition : Caffeine intoxication is a clinically significant transient condition that develops
during or shortly after the consumption of caffeine that is characterized by disturbances
in consciousness, cognition, perception, affect, behaviour, or coordination. These
disturbances are caused by the known pharmacological effects of caffeine and their
intensity is closely related to the amount of caffeine consumed. They are time-limited
and abate as caffeine is cleared from the body. Presenting features may include restlessness,
anxiety, excitement, insomnia, flushed face, diuresis, gastrointestinal disturbances,
muscle twitching, psychomotor agitation, perspiration or chills, and nausea or vomiting.
Panic attacks may occur. Disturbances typical of intoxication tend to occur at relatively
higher doses (e.g., 1 g per day). Very high doses of caffeine (e.g., 5 g) can
result in respiratory distress or seizures and can be fatal.;
