Large doses of iodide inhibit the synthesis and release of thyroid hormones. Serum T4 levels may be reduced within 24 hours, and the effects may last for 2 to 3 weeks. Iodides are used most commonly in Graves disease patients prior to surgery and to quickly reduce hormone release in patients with thyroid storm. Potassium iodide is administered either as a saturated solution (SSKI) that contains 38 mg iodide per drop or as Lugol s solution, which contains 6.3 mg iodide per drop. The typical starting dose is 120 to 400 mg/day. Iodide therapy should start 7 to 14 days prior to surgery. Iodide should not be...

If caused by maternal TSH-R Ab [stim], the disease is usually self-limited and subsides over a period of 4-12 weeks, coinciding with the fall in the infant s TSH-R Ab [stim] level. However, treatment is necessary because of the severe metabolic stress the infant experiences. Therapy includes propylthiouracil in a dose of 5-10 mg/kg/d in divided doses at 8-hour intervals Lugol s solution (8 mg of iodide per drop), 1 drop every 8 hours and propranolol, 2 mg/kg/d in divided doses. Careful supportive therapy is essential. If the infant is very ill, oral prednisone, 2 mg/kg/d in divided doses, will help block conversion of T4 to T3. These medications are gradually reduced as the clinical picture improves and can be discontinued by...

The detection and differentiation of povidone and copovidone obtained in Fraction A I in Fig. 35 is best carried out by thin layer chromatography on silica gel or paper. A suitable eluent is a mixture of 6 parts n-propanol and 4 parts 2N ammonia solution by volume, which gives the Rf values shown in Table 53. The chromatogram is then sprayed with Lugol s solution.
