Pharmacological action

Iodine is a vital trace element with high physiological activity, which is an obligatory structural component of hormones produced by the thyroid gland. The absorption rate of potassium iodide is very fast and 100%. It is absorbed by the thyroid gland, where it is oxidized to iodine. It also accumulates in the salivary and lactating mammary glands, in the stomach tissue. It is excreted from the body by the kidneys, partly by glands – bronchial, salivary and mucous. Potassium iodide as a supplement is used in diseases of the thyroid gland (in particular, endemic goiter) and to prevent the accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland. Iodine takes part in the regulation of the rate of biochemical reactions, affects the energy exchange and maintenance of optimal body temperature, regulates water-electrolyte, protein, fat metabolism, is necessary for the growth and development of the body, ensures the performance of the nervous system and is responsible for the neuropsychic state. Iodine is directly involved in the process of lipid metabolism, contributes to the activation of all types of metabolism, strengthening the processes of burning subcutaneous fat. Iodine deficiency entails consequences that seriously affect human health. Iodine enters the human body with products of plant and animal origin. The body does not produce it on its own, so an additional dose is required. Potassium iodide is also used for inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract, bronchial asthma; for eye diseases-cataracts, corneal and vitreous opacities, fungal lesions of the conjunctiva and cornea, hemorrhage in the eye membranes; to stimulate sputum discharge in bronchial asthma, bronchitis, actinomycosis of the lungs.
