Mode of action:
How does the ingredient in the drug work?

Iodine, in its water-soluble form potassium iodide, is an important component of thyroid hormones. The thyroid hormones are essential for the functioning of the human metabolism. If the iodine intake through food is not sufficient, iodine must be taken in addition to maintain the body's own thyroid hormone production.

What about pregnancy and breastfeeding?
- Pregnancy: consult your doctor. Various considerations play a role in whether and how the drug can be used during pregnancy.
- Breast-feeding: consult your doctor or pharmacist. He will examine your particular starting position and advise you accordingly as to whether and how you can continue breastfeeding.

If you have been prescribed the drug despite a contraindication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. The therapeutic benefit can be higher than the risk that the use entails in the event of a contraindication.
