Prevention of the development of endemic goiter, including during pregnancy;
- prevention of goiter recurrence after completion of a course of goiter treatment with thyroid hormone preparations or after its surgical removal;
- diffuse euthyroid goiter in newborns, children, adolescents and young adult patients.

Iodine is a vital trace element necessary for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland.
Prevention of the development of endemic goiter, including during pregnancy;
- prevention of goiter recurrence after completion of a course of goiter treatment with thyroid hormone preparations or after its surgical removal;
- diffuse euthyroid goiter in newborns, children, adolescents and young adult patients. The daily dose of the drug should be taken orally in one dose, after meals, with plenty of liquid.
When using the drug in newborns and children under 3 years of age, it is recommended to dissolve the tablet in a small amount (1 tablespoon) of boiled water at room temperature.
Recommended doses (in terms of iodine):
Prevention of the development of endemic goiter:
- newborns and children: 100 mcg/day;
- adolescents and adults: - 100-200 mcg/day;
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding - 150-200 mcg/day.
Prevention of goiter relapse after completing a course of goiter treatment with thyroid hormones or after its surgical removal: 100-200 mcg/day.
Prevention of euthyroid goiter:
- newborns, children and adolescents: 100-200 mcg/day;
- young adult patients: 300-500 mcg/day.
The drug is taken for prophylactic purposes for, as a rule, several months or years, or, if indicated, for life.
Prevention of goiter in newborns is carried out in most cases within 2-4 weeks; in children, adolescents and adults it usually takes 6-12 months, long-term use is possible. Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to iodine;
- severe thyrotoxicosis;
- latent thyrotoxicosis (when using doses exceeding 150 mcg/day);
- dermatitis herpetiformis;
- toxic adenoma, nodular goiter when used in doses of more than 300 mcg/day (with the exception of preoperative therapy to block the thyroid gland);
- hereditary diseases associated with galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption.
Potassium iodide should not be taken for hypothyroidism, unless the development of the latter is caused by severe iodine deficiency. The use of the drug should be avoided during therapy with radioactive iodine, the presence or suspicion of thyroid cancer.
