Is iodine sold over the counter 2021

DEA is aware that the element iodine is a constituent in certain pharmaceutical products (e.g., potassium iodide and others) sold over- the-counter or under a prescription. Potassium iodide is available for use in the event of a nuclear incident to protect the thyroid gland of exposed individuals.

The following information was provided by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare:

Potassium Iodide (KI) is an essential nutrient required for normal body functions. It helps maintain healthy bones, teeth and muscles. KI is also important for proper nerve and blood cell functioning. In some people with compromised immune systems, too much iodine can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and cramps.
People who live in areas where the soil has low iodide content (such as the Great Plains) normally consume more iodine from foods. The amount of iodide in your body depends on the amount of iodine you consume and the amount of thyroid tissue (which pumps out theiodide). People with normal thyroids can excrete up to 30 per cent of their stored iodide in a single day.
The human body needs a catalyst to make the iodide compound active. This process is called iodination and is catalyzed by the iodide ion (I) iodide is essential for normal thyroid function. Normally, your body stores several hundred milli­moles of iodide within normal body tissue; a small portion of this is necessary for daily functions. Properly functioning, the human body can safely store up to five hundred milli­moles of iodide. In this situation, an overdose of iodide by itself would be unlikely to cause health problems.
In cases of overdose, stomach and/apoplexy can result. The likelihood of an overdose is increased if the patient is taking other drugs or hormones.
