Specific codes in ICD-10 are unique alphanumeric designations used to identify and categorize diseases, disorders, and conditions. They consist of 3-5 characters, including both letters and numbers, that provide a high level of detail and specificity.

| Amiloride |
Amiloride has mild diuretic and anti-hypertensive activity. It acts primarily in the distal tubule and does not require aldosterone for its action. Amiloride is a mild natriuretic which does not initiate a concomitant decrease in potassium levels. |
|
| Metildigoxin |
Metildigoxin, a methyl derivative of digoxin, is a cardiac glycoside a type of drug that can be used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia. |
|
| Milrinone |
Milrinone is a positive inotrope and vasodilator, with little chronotropic activity. It also improves left ventricular diastolic relaxation. It is a selective inhibitor of peak III phosphodiesterase isoenzyme in cardiac and vascular muscle. It produces slight enhancement of A-V node conduction, but no other significant electrophysiological effects. |
|
| Quinapril |
Quinapril is a potent angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. The mode of action of quinapril in humans and animals is to inhibit circulating and tissue ACE activity, thereby decreasing vasopressor activity and aldosterone secretion. |
