Potassium Iodide Radiation Tablets 130 mg (2 Pack) - (280 Tablets) EXP 10/2032 - Potassium Iodine Tablets for Radiation Ki Pills - Potassium Iodine Pills YODO Naciente, Anti Nuclear Fallout Pills

Product Information

An inadequate dietary intake of iodine leads to insufficient production of thyroid hormones, which affects many parts of the body, particularly muscle, heart, liver, kidney and the developing brain. There is a risk that the vendor's mis-selling could lead people to only take 1/2 the required dose, or worse, that they read that they have to take 2 tablets and therefore they might end up taking double the dose and could poison themselves. Potassium iodide can help block your thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine if you are exposed to it. The NRC did not require use of potassium iodide by the general public because the NRC believes that current emergency planning and protective measures--evacuation and sheltering--are adequate and protective of public health and safety.

The wording of this product is dangerously wrong and needs addressing, you are also only getting 1/2 the product that you have paid for.To date, the only observed changes during stability (shelf-life) testing have been the failure of some batches of KI tablets to meet dissolution specifications. What assumptions should be made about its actual availability and use in the event of an incident if potassium iodide is predistributed?

Potassium Iodide (KI) and Radiation Emergencies: Fact Sheet is available in Portable Document Format (PDF, 26KB, 2pg.

A State considering the use of potassium iodide would at least review the regulation ( 66 FR 5427; January 19, 2001), the Federal Policy on the Use of Potassium Iodide, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines " Potassium Iodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in Radiation Emergencies," the FEMA guidelines, and the NRC disclaimer and would briefly deliberate the State's position on the use of potassium iodide by the general public in the unlikely event of a severe nuclear reactor accident. Iodide is the ion form of iodine, occurring when iodine bonds with another element, such as potassium. Russia’s most destructive missiles are thought to have a maximum explosive yield of around eight megatonnes (8,000 kilotonnes), though that figure is only a rough estimate. The terms and conditions of the contract apply equally to the supply of both products and services except where application to one or the other is specified. Breastfeeding people should consider temporarily stopping breastfeeding until evacuated from the impacted area, if possible, and safely feed your baby other ways.

Taking a higher dose of KI, or taking KI more often than recommended, does not offer more protection and can cause severe illness or death. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released guidance in December 2001 on how to safely use potassium iodide. This happens because the thyroid has already absorbed the KI, and there is no room to absorb the radioactive iodine. In such cases, instructions can be provided to crush the tablets and mix them with a juice or other liquid prior to administration as suggested for emergency pediatric dosing. Get your child’s hormone levels checked if they received more than a single dose of potassium iodide.Avantor carries a broad range of trusted products to help you meet the needs of your lab applications and protocols. Once inside the cell, they promote metabolic function by enhancing mitochondrial activity and enzyme synthesis, especially in tissues and organs such as muscle and the liver.

Priority with regard to evacuation and sheltering should be given to pregnant females and neonates because of the potential for KI to suppress thyroid function in the fetus and neonate. In the event of an official health warning, it may be necessary to ensure that your thyroid gland is only absorbing stable iodine. Adults over 40 years old have a much lower risk of developing thyroid cancer and are more likely to have health conditions, like problems with their thyroids, that increase their risks for harmful health effects from KI.To facilitate use of KI in emergency situations, on December 23, 2002, FDA published Guidance for Industry KI in Radiation Emergencies - Questions and Answers. When the thyroid absorbs high levels of radioactive iodine, it can increase the risk of thyroid cancer in infants, children, and young adults many years after exposure. The purpose of radiological emergency preparedness is to protect people from the effects of radiation exposure after an accident at a nuclear power plant. Tablets in two strengths, 130 milligram (mg) and 65 mg (The tablets may be cut into smaller pieces for lower doses.
