TAKING POTASSIUM IODATE (170mg, 60-tablet bottles)
Authorities will tell you if there is a need to take KIO3.
The usual recommended “daily dose”:
-Adults 12 yrs and older - 1 tablet daily—3 to 14 days if “Child” tablets are unavailable
-Children 3 years to 12 years - 1/2 tablet daily—3 days or longer*
-Children 1 month to 3 years* - 1/4 tablet daily—1 to 3 days
-Newborn to 1 month - 1/8 to 1/4 tablet —1 to 3 days**
*Authorities may determine that repeat or longer dosing may be necessary.The tablets should be taken as a single daily dose 3-12 hours before exposure, or up to 10 hours after exposure, although this is less effective.
**Under heavy plume conditions 1/4 tablet may be given to newborns as a starting dose. It is extremely important that young children be taken out of harm’s way as soon as possible.
For young children or newborn babies, the tablet may be crushed and taken mixed with milk, juice or water.
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding you should normally not take more than two doses for a minor “reactor leak”. Babies up to a month old should only received one dose for a minor “reactor leak”. However, this should be determined by authorities.
If you swallow a lot of the tablets all together, or if you think a child has accidentally swallowed any of the tablets, contact your nearest hospital emergency room or Doctor immediately.
