IOSAT Potassium Iodide

1.       All IOSAT is fully FDA approved for thyroid blocking in a radiation emergency.  Please know that IOSAT is the ONLY full-strength potassium iodide tablet approved by the FDA which can be sold in the US, and which is approved for government purchasing.  Also, be aware that IOSAT contains potassium iodide, not iodate, which is not FDA approved and is not legal to sell in the US.  Statements by other companies that they are “FDA Approved” or that iodide and iodate are equivalent are either untrue or misleading (see www.fda.gov).

2.  Each standard package of IOSAT contains a strip of 14 tablets, with each tablet containing 130 mg of potassium iodide.  The tablets are double scored to split easily and cleanly into 65 mg and 32.5 mg.
