Potassium Iodide Radiation Tablets 130 mg (2 Pack) - (280 Tablets) EXP 10/2032 - Potassium Iodine Tablets for Radiation Ki Pills - Potassium Iodine Pills YODO Naciente, Anti Nuclear Fallout Pills

Product Information

Owing to the sensitivity of the neonate and foetus thyroid to large doses of iodine, repeated administration of stable iodine should be avoided for neonates and pregnant and lactating women. Neonates will not require further doses. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should take a maximum of two doses. There have been no studies concerning animals and the administration of Potassium Iodide for radiation emergencies. Like humans, animals do not normally have any allergic reaction to limited doses of Potassium Iodide. For animals with no known iodine allergies (ask your vet) it is a relatively safe drug. If you wish to administer potassium iodide to an animal that has a thyroid (cats, dogs, cattle, horses) follow the dosing chart amounts listed above in the “What is the dosage?” info and give the appropriate dosage based upon weight. For instance, the Iosat dosage for a 2-year-old child would be 32mg (1/4 Iosat tablet). If an average 2-year-old weighs 25 -30 lbs., a dog weighing the same would take the same dosage, 32mg (1/4 Iosat tablet). If a 2-week-old infant weighs on average 9 pounds, then you would give a 9 pound cat/dog 16mg (1/8 Iosat tablet). Crush it up and put it in their food. Please consult with a vet in advance to make sure your pet can safely take Potassium Iodide. Please know that some vets have no idea about whether an animal can develop thyroid cancer from nuclear radiation (they can) and don’t know that the correct dose of FDA approved potassium iodide can help prevent thyroid cancer from exposure to radioactive iodine (it can). That being said, we are only offering this information as a service to pets owners and recommend speaking with a veterinarian who is properly educated in the matter. According to FDA, potassium iodide may be used as food additive and can serve the following functions: [8]

With 103 nuclear reactors in the US alone—and a potential exposure radius of 200 miles around each one—the risk is ever-present for American citizens. Thyrosafe acts as the first line of defense against the risk of radioactive contamination, with each dose providing 24 hours of reliable protection to keep your thyroid functioning safely while you make your way to safety. In children of 3 to 12 years 50% of the adult dose should be given and in children of 1 month to 3 years the dose should be 25% of the adult dose.Potassium iodide has long been used by doctors as an expectorant in cases of infectious diseases of the respiratory tract, or in pulmonary diseases in which anatomical changes impair expectoration, such as emphysema and cystic fibrosis. [6] It acts as an “irritating” expectorant whose mechanism of action will occur by direct irritation of the glands of the respiratory mucosa. [5]

A single daily dose should be administered. This will protect against exposure lasting up to 24 hours (see section 4.4). Adults over 40 years old have a much lower risk of developing thyroid cancer and are more likely to have health conditions, like problems with their thyroids, that increase their risks for harmful health effects from KI. However, officials or healthcare providers may instruct adults over 40 to consume KI if the predicted exposure is high enough to cause hypothyroidism. By taking Thyrosafe, you give your body a safe, stable source of iodine before it’s exposed to potentially unsafe iodine. Thyrosafe is carefully measured to ensure you receive enough iodine (never too much) to last 24 hours and ward off the potentially damaging effects of radioactive iodine (I-131). The half-life of I-131 is just over a week, making this ten-day supply a perfect solution for most buyers. But the salt doesn’t protect the rest of your body from radioactive iodine, only your thyroid. It also can’t reverse any health issues caused by radioactive iodine if your thyroid was already damaged. It’s important to note that potassium iodide protects only your thyroid. It does not protect the rest of your body because it’s not a general radioprotective agent, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As such, it doesn’t prevent radioactive iodine from entering your body — it only stops your thyroid from absorbing the iodine.Potassium iodide is extremely safe in the dosage provided by IOSAT and ThyroSafe Because it is widely used in other treatments, its effects are well known. Calculations by the National Council on Radiation Protection suggest that the incidence of adverse reactions to Potassium Iodide can be as low as 1 in 10 million, and often no more than a mild skin rash. In the 1930s the government required salt manufacturers to add Potassium Iodide to its table salt (like Morton salt) because people in the great lakes region had iodine-deficient diets and had a high rate of goiters and other thyroid problems. Potassium Iodide is also added to children’s Flintstone vitamins because it is an essential mineral. It has also been used as a children’s expectorant for years. Continued administration may lead to mental depression, nervousness, sexual impotence and insomnia.

The potential benefit of iodine prophylaxis is greatest in the young. The thyroid of the foetus, neonate and young infant has a higher yearly thyroid cancer risk per unit dose of radioactive iodine than the thyroid of an adult. Camlab supply chemicals for laboratory use only, they are not suitable or recommended for any other use. When it comes to radiation exposure, one of the most important considerations is the protection of your thyroid, and with good reason…

Uploading

Breastfeeding people should consider temporarily stopping breastfeeding until evacuated from the impacted area, if possible, and safely feed your baby other ways. Radioactive iodine can be passed to infants through breast milk. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s also crucial that pregnant and breastfeeding individuals take the proper dose of potassium iodide to protect themselves and their baby. Dairy Free, Egg Free, Gluten Free, Milk Free, No artificial sweeteners, flavours, colours or preservatives., Non GMO, Peanut Free, Shellfish Free, Soy Free, Tree Nut Free, Vegan, Wheat Free When used as an antibiotic at doses of less than 50mg, iodine destroys pathogenic bacteria yet it leaves the valuable probiotic gut flora intact – another built-in advantage of iodine therapy as opposed to regular antibiotics. [3] Iodine is also valuable for breaking down biofilms that cause antibiotic resistance in the first place. [3]

Dosing instructions for children are outlined in the table above. For children too young to swallow pills, the pills can be ground into a powder and added to food or formula. Note that each dose is effective for only 24 hours. Only take potassium iodide if state or local health authorities suggest you do so. During an emergency, health officials will send out an announcement. Your health department will then tell you when it’s OK to take potassium iodide. They’ll also tell you when you can stop the medication.

If used for more than 10 days, consult your doctor. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. If you are pregnant, lactating, taking any medications or have a medical condition, such as an iodide allergy or thyroid condition, consult a health professional. Discontinue use if adverse reaction occurs. Keep lid tightly closed. Keep in a cool, dry place. Infants and young children. Newborns and children are most at risk for a thyroid injury from radioactive iodine. Those with low amount of iodine in their thyroid are also likely to have thyroid damage. Adults. People over the age of 40 should only take potassium iodide if their public health officials state that there will be a very high amount of radioactive iodine contamination. This group has the lowest risk of thyroid cancer or thyroid injury after radioactive iodine exposure. They’re also at the highest risk of an allergic reaction or adverse effects from potassium iodide. How Much Potassium Iodide Should You Take? Stability: Stable in dry air, but light and moisture accelerate decomposition. Volatises at temperatures above 680 degrees Celsius
