Treatment of Phthisis by Iodide of Potassium

Formulation and optimization of potassium iodide tablets.

The use of potassium iodide (KI) as a protective agent against accidental radioactive exposure is well established. In this study, we aimed to prepare a KI tablet formulation using a direct compression method. We utilized Design of Experiment (DoE)/mixture design to define the best formulation with predetermined physical qualities as to its dissolution, hardness, assay, disintegration, and angl...

Potassium iodide in the treatment of syphilis.

Potassium iodide is not an antispirochaetal agent, and hence has no value in the treatment of early syphilis. Whether the drug exerts an effect upon the healing of lesions of late syphilis has never been established with certainty, but generations of clinical observers believed that such an effect was demonstrable. The controversy is no longer of importance, as the arsenicals and penicillin are...

Potassium Iodide – Its Value and Destiny

A number of nuclear power plant postulated accident scenarios show the overwhelming presence of radioiodines in the mix of a radioactive release. The effectual manifestations of radioiodines on an unprotected thyroid gland can be medically devastating. The importance of the thyroid gland in maintaining the harmonious functioning of the body is enormous, and the role of potassium iodide in prote...
