Potassium Iodide

Potassium iodide is a salt of potassium and iodine, used as a source of iodine in supplements and iodized salt.

Micrograms and milligrams serve different purposes

Swiss emergency guidance describes tablets containing 65 mg potassium iodide and age-specific dosing. These preparations belong to an official protection plan; the authority determines when they are needed. 1

Nutritional iodine requirements, by contrast, are expressed in micrograms. 2
