Description: IOSAT Potassium Iodide Tablets 130 MG 14 Tablets Pack Expiry 2031 - 10 Packs. Product is direct from the manufacturer About the product: Sure, here are the key points in a simplified format: - iOSAT™ uses potassium iodide (KI) to protect against radioactive iodine. - KI is a type of iodine that dissolves easily and fills up the thyroid gland. - When the thyroid is full of KI, it won't absorb harmful radioactive iodine and will excrete it instead. - KI was tested during the Chernobyl disaster and found to be very effective. - The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reported that children who took KI were much safer, with 97% having safe levels of radioactive iodine. - No serious side effects from taking KI were reported. ANBEX distributes iOSAT KI in sealed 14 tablet packages How to use KI Each tablet of iOSAT contains 130 mg of potassium iodide in a small round tablet. The tablet is scored to aid in splitting it into 65 and 32.5 mg doses for young children (or small pets). In an emergency, adults are encouraged to take one full tablet. Children under 18 can receive an effective dose from half a tablet. However, KI is known to be very safe for children, so any child over the age of one could take a full tablet with no adverse consequences expected. (This makes emergency administration easier.) When to use KI iOSAT does not cure thyroid cancer. It prevents it by blocking RAI. Therefore, it is important to take KI as early as possible. If taken right before exposure to RAI, almost complete protection is assured. KI works for about 24 hours, so one dose should be taken daily for as long as RAI remains in the environment. In heavily contaminated areas, say within 50 miles of a release from a nuclear powerplant or nuclear weapon, the danger period for the RAI to decay could be as long as 40 to 60 days. While maximum effectiveness is gained by taking KI at or just before initial exposure, significant protection is available even if taken later than this. Beginning KI administration at ANY TIME during the danger period will block entry of RAI for the remaining balance of the danger period. Precautions Side effects from potassium iodide are extremely rare, but it should not be used by anyone with a known allergy to the drug, or those with nodular thyroid disease, hypocomplementemic vasculitis, or dermatitis herpetiformis. The drug is approved for children and pregnant women, but people on other thyroid medicines should alert their physician if they take KI.
