Frequently Asked Questions

How does Potassium Iodide protect against radiation exposure?

Potassium Iodide (KI) works by saturating the thyroid gland with stable, non-radioactive iodine so that it cannot absorb radioactive iodine (I-131) released in a nuclear or radiological event. It must be taken before or shortly after exposure, as directed by public health authorities, to be effective.

How do I split IOSAT tablets for children?

Each IOSAT tablet is double-scored, meaning it can be cleanly broken in half (65mg) or in quarters (32.5mg). These child-appropriate doses should only be administered under guidance from public health officials or as directed on the package insert based on the childx27s age and weight.

Should I stockpile IOSAT even if I donx27t live near a nuclear plant?

Yes. Radiological emergencies can include transportation accidents, dirty bombs, and large-scale nuclear events that affect broad geographic areas. Emergency management agencies, CERT teams, and serious preppers include KI tablets in all levels of emergency preparedness planning regardless of proximity to nuclear facilities.
