Potassium Iodide

Potassium Iodide is used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer. It is also used to loosen and break the thick mucus in the lungs.

Potassium Iodide is an anti-thyroid medicine. It stops releasing thyroid hormone by minimizing blood flow to the thyroid gland. It also reduces the size of the thyroid cells. This is how it helps in treating thyroid diseases.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
