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

   Other sources state that pure potassium iodide solution in water was eventually used for most of the thyroid protection after this accident. [26] 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 ...

5. Iodine (medical use) - Wikipedia

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

   A saturated solution of potassium iodide is used to treat acute thyrotoxicosis. It is also used to block uptake of iodine-131 in the thyroid gland (see isotopes section above), when this isotope is used as part of radiopharmaceuticals (such as iobenguane) that are not targeted to the thyroid or thyroid-type tissues. [17] [18]

6. Thyroid storm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_storm

   Guidelines recommend the administration of inorganic iodide (potassium iodide or Lugol's iodine [6] [21]) to reduce the synthesis and release of thyroid hormone. In high dosage, iodine may reduce the synthesis of thyroid hormone via the Wolff–Chaikoff effect and its release via the Plummer effect. [5]

7. 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.
