Potassium Iodide (130 mg 14 tablets)*

Potassium iodide is a specific blocker of thyroid radio-iodine uptake.

Dosage and Use

    Potassium iodide should only be taken when instructed to do so by official health warnings.
    Do not use as an everyday supplement.
    The maximum dosage for adults is 130 mg per day.
    The following is recommended for children (can be crushed and given in liquids to children too small to swallow pills):

•         3–18 years: 65 mg (1/2 tablet)
•         1 month–3 years: 32 mg (1/4 tablet)
•         Birth–1 month: 16 mg (1/8 tablet)

    Importantly, potassium iodide that is not absorbed by the thyroid gland is quickly flushed from the system through urine.
