Sodium iodide I is a radiopharmaceutical/antithyroid agent. After rapid GI absorption, iodine I is primarily distributed within extracellular fluid. It is trapped and rapidly converted to protein-bound iodine by the thyroid it is concentrated, but not protein bound, by the stomach and salivary glands. It is promptly excreted by kidneys. About 90% of the local irradiation is caused by beta radiation and 10% is caused by gamma radiation. I has a physical half-life of 8.04 days. It is indicated in the treatment of thyroid carcinoma, hyperthyroidism. [Pg.647]
