About this deal

Hyperthyroidism, iodine induced autoimmunity (Grave's and Hashimoto type), toxic nodular goitre and iodine-induced hypothyroidism have been reported as side effects of iodine therapy. are, or think you may be, allergic (sensitive)to potassium iodide or any other ingredientslisted in section 6 of this leaflet. The other ingredients are microcrystallinecellulose, talc, macrogol 6000, colloidalanhydrous silica. In cases of exposure to radioiodine from nuclear accidents, dosing of potassium iodide should be based on emergency plans and predetermined operational intervention levels. Risk benefit of administration of stable iodine should be weighed for the different age groups at risk.

Patients undergoing thyreostatic treatment must continue with such therapy and regularly undergo medical examinations at short intervals. The tablets are white to yellowish slightly marbled round tablets with a smooth surfacewithout any defects, cross-scored for ease ofbreaking. Adults. People over the age of 40 should only take potassium iodide if their public health officials state that there will be a very high amount of radioactive iodine contamination. This group has the lowest risk of thyroid cancer or thyroid injury after radioactive iodine exposure. They’re also at the highest risk of an allergic reaction or adverse effects from potassium iodide. How Much Potassium Iodide Should You Take?People who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s also crucial that pregnant and breastfeeding individuals take the proper dose of potassium iodide to protect themselves and their baby. Neonates, pregnant and breast-feeding women and older adults (> 60 years) should not receive more than one dose (see section 4.6). Neonates and older people (> 60 years) are at higher risk of adverse health effects if they receive repeated doses of stable iodine (see sections 4.4 and 4.6).

Acute ingestion of iodine can result in corrosive injury of the gastrointestinal tract and renal damage. Cardiopulmonary collapse due to circulatory failure should be treated by maintenance of airway and stabilisation of the circulation. Oedema of the glottis resulting in asphyxia or aspiration pneumonia can occur. In acute iodine poisoning large quantities of milk and starch mucilage should be given. In case of prolonged exposure, repeat dosing may be necessary although if you are pregnantor breastfeeding you should normally not takemore than two doses. You must also get medicaladvice since ThySat may affect the thyroidof your child and tests from your doctor canestablish and correct this. Babies up to a monthold should only receive one dose and shouldhave their thyroid function assessed by theirdoctor.

Potassium iodide should not be given when radioiodine is being administered for the purpose of diagnostic imaging or treatment of the thyroid gland. Continued administration may lead to mental depression, nervousness, sexual impotence and insomnia. It is recommended to use the tablets as soon as possible and preferably within 2 hours after the expected onset of exposure. However, an administration up to 8 hours after the estimated onset of exposure is still useful. Iodine prophylaxis protects against inhaled or ingested radioiodine and has no effect on other ingested radionuclides.

Do not use ThySat after the expiry date which is stated on the label. The expiry date refers to thelast day of the month. Hypersensitivity reactions such as swollen salivary glands, headache, bronchospasm and gastro-intestinal disturbances can be mild or severe and may be dose dependent.

How to store ThySat Potassium salts should be given cautiously to patients with renal or adrenal insufficiency, acute dehydration or heat cramp. Women in the last 3 months of pregnancy should inform their doctor and other healthcareprofessionals that they have taken ThySat, as ablood sample from the umbilical cord should betaken to measure the baby's thyroid function.If the release of radioactive iodine continues (> 24 hours), with repeated exposure, intake of contaminated food or drinking water and if evacuation is not possible, a repeated administration may be necessary. No dosage adjustments are required in special populations such as patients with impaired renal or hepatic function. Iodine elimination occurs mainly via the kidneys; however, renal elimination rate is not influenced by iodine intake or iodine serum levels. Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system: For children the medicine may be crushed and mixed with milk, water or juice before administration. In overdose, symptoms of iodism such as headache, pain and swelling of the salivary glands, fever or laryngitis, swelling or inflammation of the throat, gastrointestinal upset and diarrhoea can occur. Pulmonary oedema can also occur.
