Dosing Information
In the event of a nuclear emergency, listen for instructions from public health officials. Only take one dose every 24 hours for the number of days directed by public officials. You should not take for longer than you are told.
When directed, take the appropriate dose based on age. (For small children who cannot swallow the tablet whole, the tablet should be ground into a powder and dissolved in water or other preferable drink.)
| Age | 130mg |
|---|---|
| Adults over 18 years | 1 tablet (whole or crushed) every day (130 mg) |
| Children over 12 years to 18 years who weigh at least 150 pounds | 1 tablet (whole or crushed) every day (130 mg) |
| Children over 12 years to 18 years who weigh less than 150 pounds | ½ tablet (whole or crushed) or 4 teaspoonfuls every day (65 mg) |
| Children over 3 years to 12 years | ½ tablet (whole or crushed) or 4 teaspoonfuls every day (65 mg) |
| Children over 1 month to 3 years | 2 teaspoonfuls every day (32.5 mg = ¼ tablet crushed as directed in the consumer package insert) |
| Babies at birth to 1 month | 1 teaspoonful every day (16.25 mg) |
Making a Potassium Iodide Liquid Mixture:
- Put one 130 mg KI tablet into a small bowl and grind it into a fine powder using the back of a metal teaspoon against the inside of the bowl. The powder should not have any large pieces.
- Add 4 teaspoonfuls of water to the crushed KI powder in the bowl and mix until the KI powder is dissolved in the water.
- Take the KI water mixture solution made in step 2 and mix it with 4 teaspoonfuls of low fat white or chocolate milk, orange juice, flat soda, raspberry syrup, or infant formula.
- The KI liquid mixture will keep for up to 7 days in the refrigerator. It is recommended that the KI liquid mixture be prepared weekly. Throw away unused portions.
The amount of KI (130 mg tablet) in the drink when mixed as described above is 16.25 mg per teaspoonful. The number of teaspoonfuls of the drink to give your child depends on your child’s age as described in the following table:
| Child's Age | Give your child this amount in teaspoons |
|---|---|
| Over 12 years to 18 years old who weigh less than 150 pounds | 4 teaspoonfuls will give your a 65 mg dose |
| Over 3 years to 12 years old | 4 teaspoonfuls will give you a 65 mg dose |
| Over 1 month to 3 years old | 2 teaspoonfuls will give you a 32.5 mg dose |
| Birth to 1 month | 1 teaspoonful will give you a 16.25 mg dose |
Note: This is the amount to give your child for one single dose in teaspoonfuls (not tablespoonfuls). You should give your child one dose each day as recommended by the public officials.
Always consult the package insert for complete instructions and pediatric dosing.
Use ThyroSafe along with other emergency measures recommended to you by public officials.
Do not take if you know you are allergic to iodine, have dermatitis herpetiformis or hypocomplementemic vasculitis, or have nodular thyroid disease with heart disease, because these conditions may increase the chances of side effects to iodine.
