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... [Pg.678]

Potassium iodide is added to animal feeds to ensure that domestic animals get the iodine they need in their daily diets. A mixture of iodine in aqueous potassium iodide called SSKI has long been used as a disinfectant. The active agent in this mixture is iodine, and the potassium iodide is added to increase the iodine s solubility in water. SSKI is used to purify small amounts of water, to clear up pimples, to prevent sinus infections, and to treat bladder, lung, and stomach infections. [Pg.652]
