Potassium iodide (KI) tablets are a type of medication that can help protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodine is a type of radiation that can be released during a nuclear accident or other radiation event. If you are exposed to radioactive iodine, it can damage your thyroid gland, which can lead to thyroid cancer. Potassium iodide tablets work by blocking the thyroid gland from absorbing radioactive iodine.
If you are concerned about the risk of exposure to radioactive iodine, then Potassium Iodate KIO3 Anti-Nuclear Radiation Pills are a good option to have on hand.
