Potassium Iodide

Preferred Label : Potassium Iodide;

NCIt synonyms : Potassium Salt of Hydriodic Acid; Potassium Iodide Oral Solution; Potassium Iodide Solution;

NCIt definition : A metal halide composed of potassium and iodide with thyroid protecting and expectorant properties. Potassium iodide can block absorption of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland through flooding the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine and preventing intake of radioactive molecules, thereby protecting the thyroid from cancer causing radiation. In addition, this agent acts as an expectorant by increasing secretion of respiratory fluids resulting in decreased mucus viscosity.;
