Your body excretes the remainder in urine. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePotassium iodide is used to help with an overactive thyroid, or hyperthyroid, as well as with chronic respiratory conditions, to thin mucus. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePotassium iodide may also help reduce the risks of some of the damaging effects of radiation. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe thyroid gland is one of the most sensitive organs to radiation. A nuclear event can, for example, release radioactive iodine into the air, which your thyroid will absorb once it enters your body. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTaking potassium iodide pills may temporarily block your thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine. This may reduce the risk of health effects related to radiation down the road. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Usage\u003c\/h2\u003eUse only as directed.
