Potassium Iodide Tablets | 10mg | 100Tablets/box |
Potassium Iodide Tablets are a medication used in radiation emergencies to protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine exposure. Potassium iodide works by saturating the thyroid gland with non-radioactive iodine, thereby reducing the uptake of radioactive iodine isotopes. This prophylactic measure helps prevent the development of thyroid cancer and other thyroid disorders associated with exposure to radioactive iodine.
Potassium Iodide Tablets are taken orally with water, typically as a single dose or multiple doses over a specified period, as directed by public health authorities during a radiation emergency.
Dosage recommendations may vary based on factors such as age, body weight, and the estimated level of radiation exposure. It is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by healthcare professionals or public health authorities.
Safety and Considerations:
Potassium iodide prophylaxis is generally considered safe when used as directed during a radiation emergency. However, individuals with iodine allergy or certain thyroid conditions should avoid potassium iodide unless specifically recommended by a healthcare provider.
Adverse effects of potassium iodide may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, particularly at higher doses. These side effects are usually mild and transient.
