2. Potassium iodide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_iodide

   Emergency 130 milligrams potassium iodide doses provide 100 mg iodide (the other 30 mg is the potassium in the compound), [17] which is roughly 700 times larger than the normal nutritional need (see recommended dietary allowance) for iodine, which is 150 micrograms (0.15 mg) of iodine (as iodide) per day for an adult.

   Potassium iodide (KI) and potassium iodate ... If a person consumes a dose of one of these chemical compounds, his or her thyroid may saturate with stable iodine, ...

4. Lugol's iodine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugol's_iodine

   There is "strong scientific evidence" for potassium iodide thyroid protection to help prevent thyroid cancer. Potassium iodide does not provide immediate protection but can be a component of a general strategy in a radiation emergency. [27] [failed verification] Historically, Lugol's iodine solution has been widely available and used for a ...

5. Iodine (medical use) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_(medical_use)

   The typical adult dose is one 130 mg tablet per 24 hours, supplying 100 mg (100,000 micrograms) of ionic iodine (the typical daily dose of iodine for normal health is on the order of 100 micrograms). Ingestion of this large dose of non-radioactive iodine minimises the uptake of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland. [19]

6. Iodised salt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodised_salt

   Four inorganic compounds are used as iodide sources, depending on the producer: potassium iodate, potassium iodide, sodium iodate, and sodium iodide. Any of these compounds supplies the body with the iodine required for the biosynthesis of thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T 3) hormones by the thyroid gland.

8. Iodine-125 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine-125

   [14] [15] Potassium iodide (KI) is typically used for this purpose. [16] However, unjustified self-medicated preventive administration of stable KI is not recommended in order to avoid disturbing the normal thyroid function. Such a treatment must be carefully dosed and requires an appropriate KI amount prescribed by a specialised physician.

9. Wolff–Chaikoff effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff–Chaikoff_effect

   The Wolff–Chaikoff effect is an effective means of rejecting a large quantity of imbibed iodide, and therefore preventing the thyroid from synthesizing large quantities of thyroid hormone. [7] Excess iodide transiently inhibits thyroid iodide organification. In individuals with a normal thyroid, the gland eventually escapes from this ...
