It is a white crystalline solid that dissolves readily in water producing an yellowish-brown solution. The name potassium iodide is often used interchangeably with the terms \u201ciodized salt\u201d or \u201ciodized salt tablets\u201d. It is primarily used as a source of dietary iodine, an essential nutrient required for adequate thyroid function. In some cases it can also be used to protect against radioactive contamination.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Potassium_Iodide_Work\"><\/span>How Does Potassium Iodide Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When ingested, potassium iodide works by saturating the body with non-radioactive iodine, preventing the uptake of any radioactive iodine released during a nuclear emergency. This protection works because the human body prefers to use the non-radioactive iodine when metabolizing, so it will not absorb the radioactive iodine which could cause serious health issues. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends taking <a href=\"https:\/\/15-seconds.com\/potassium-iodide-anti-radiation-tablets-a-comprehensive-guide\/\">potassium iodide tablets<\/a> if you are in a potential risk area for nuclear radiation exposure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Potassium_Iodide_Tablets\"><\/span>How to Use Potassium Iodide Tablets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to effectively use potassium iodide tablets, you must take them before or within 24 hours of being exposed to radioactive iodine. If the exposure is extensive, it is recommended to take the tablet every 24 hours for up to 14 days. However, only take potassium iodide tablets if instructed by your doctor or local public health authority. The dosage for adults is 130 mg per day, while children should receive 65 mg per day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Side_Effects_of_Taking_Potassium_Iodide_Tablets\"><\/span>Side Effects of Taking Potassium Iodide Tablets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most common side effect of taking potassium iodide tablets is an upset stomach or nausea. Other possible side effects include vomiting, headaches, rashes, swelling of the throat and difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these side effects, stop taking the tablets and seek medical attention immediately.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Should_Take_Potassium_Iodide_Tablets\"><\/span>Who Should Take Potassium Iodide Tablets?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Due to the potentially long-term health risks associated with exposure to nuclear radiation, anyone living in a high-risk area should consider taking potassium iodide tablets. This includes people who may be at risk from natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or man-made disasters such as nuclear power plant accidents. Additionally, healthcare workers dealing with nuclear medicine, x-ray technicians, radiation therapy clinicians, and those living close to nuclear reactors should all have a supply of <a href=\"https:\/\/15-seconds.com\/what-are-potassium-iodide-ki-tablets\/\">potassium iodide tablets<\/a> on hand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Can_You_Buy_Potassium_Iodide_Tablets\"><\/span>Where Can You Buy Potassium Iodide Tablets?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Potassium iodide tablets can be purchased from a variety of sources including online retailers, pharmacies and health food stores. When purchasing potassium iodide tablets, it is important to ensure that they are US made and meet the FDA standards. Additionally, always consult with your physician or pharmacist before taking any type of supplement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/15-seconds.com\/where-can-you-buy-potassium-iodide-anti-radiation-tablets\/\">Potassium iodide tablets<\/a> are an important part of any survival plan and are especially helpful in areas where there is a potential risk of nuclear radiation. They work by blocking radioactive iodine from entering the body and can help reduce the severity of adverse health effects. Though they can provide some protection, it is important to follow safety protocols and avoid any potential danger. Be sure to consult with your doctor before taking <a href=\"https:\/\/15-seconds.com\/potassium-iodide-anti-radiation-tablets-the-facts\/\">potassium iodide tablets<\/a>, and purchase them from a trusted source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Potassium iodide tablets are a critical item for preparedness and survival kits.
