Potassium Iodide Tablets are a type of radiation protection medication. They are used to help protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine. This medication is often recommended in case of a nuclear accident or other radiological emergency.
When taken as directed, Potassium Iodide Tablets can saturate the thyroid gland with non-radioactive iodine. This saturation can help prevent the thyroid gland from absorbing radioactive iodine that may be present in the environment.
You can purchase Potassium Iodide Tablets from a variety of sources, including:
