2. Lugol's iodine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugol's_iodine

   Lugol's iodine is a liquid made up of two parts potassium iodide for every one part elemental iodine in water. [8] Lugol's iodine was first made in 1829 by the French physician Jean Lugol. [7] [8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [9] [10] Lugol's iodine is available as a generic medication and over the ...

3. Tincture of iodine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tincture_of_iodine

   USP Strong Iodine Tincture is defined in the NF as containing in each 100 mL, 6.8 to 7.5 gram of iodine, and 4.7 to 5.5 gram of potassium iodide. Purified water is 50 mL and the balance is alcohol. This 7% tincture solution is about 3.5 times more concentrated than USP 2% tincture. [citation needed] As in the case of Lugol's iodine, the role of ...

4. Triiodide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triiodide

   Lugol's iodine contains potassium iodide and a stoichiometric amount of elemental iodine, so that significant amounts of triiodide ion exist in this solution. Tincture of iodine, although nominally a solution of elemental iodine in ethanol, also contains significant amounts of triiodide, due to its content of both iodide and water.

5. Iodine (medical use) - Wikipedia

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

   Tincture of iodine: iodine in ethanol, or iodine and sodium iodide in a mixture of ethanol and water. Lugol's iodine: iodine and iodide in water alone, forming mostly triiodide. Unlike tincture of iodine, Lugol's iodine has a minimised amount of the free iodine (I 2) component. Iodine glycerin, a preparation used in dentistry.

6. Potassium iodide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_iodide

   Unlike I 2, I − 3 salts can be highly water-soluble. Through this reaction, iodine is used in redox titrations. Aqueous KI 3 (Lugol's iodine) solution is used as a disinfectant and as an etchant for gold surfaces. Potassium iodide and silver nitrate are used to make silver(I) iodide, which is used for high speed photographic film and for ...

7. Plummer effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plummer_effect

   Wrong timing of iodine use may even increase the risk by triggering the Plummer effect. [10] The Plummer effect is, however, helpful in the management of thyrotoxicosis, where the usage of Lugol’s solution helps to limit the release of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream. [4]
