In the event of a nuclear accident or fallout, radioactive iodine can be released into the air, posing a severe health risk by being absorbed into the thyroid gland. Exposure to radioactive iodine can lead to thyroid damage, cancer, and even death if untreated.
IOSAT potassium iodide tablets offer a simple, inexpensive way to protect yourself and your family during a radiation emergency. When taken properly, potassium iodide floods the thyroid with stabilized iodine, blocking up to 99% of the harmful radioactive iodine that could otherwise be absorbed. This significantly reduces the risk of thyroid cancer and other complications caused by radiation exposure.
Why Should You Have IOSAT on Hand?
Nuclear emergencies can happen without warning, and radioactive particles can remain in the air for several days. Defense experts recommend keeping IOSAT potassium iodide tablets readily available for every family member, including pets. These tablets are safe, effective, and approved for emergency use when public health officials provide guidance.
Recommended Dosages
IOSAT is safe for adults, children, and even pets during a radiation emergency. The recommended dosages are as follows:
- Adults and Children (1 year or older): 1 tablet once a day.
- Babies (under 1 year): 1/2 tablet once a day (crush for easy ingestion).
- Dogs (25–30 lbs): 1/4 tablet once a day.
- Small Pets (e.g., 10 lb dog or cat): 1/8 tablet once a day (crushed and mixed with food).
Note: Always consult your veterinarian before giving potassium iodide to pets, especially if they have allergies or other health conditions.
Take IOSAT potassium iodide tablets only when instructed by public health officials. Tablets should be taken 30 minutes before radiation exposure, when possible, to maximize protection.
Stay Prepared for All Emergencies
While it’s easy to believe that a nuclear emergency "could never happen here," preparedness is key to protecting your loved ones. IOSAT potassium iodide tablets are a vital, affordable addition to any emergency preparedness kit.
Warning: Be cautious of unapproved or counterfeit potassium iodide products illegally sold for emergency use. Always choose trusted, FDA-approved options like IOSAT for your family's safety.
Stay safe, stay prepared, and protect your family in the event of a radiation emergency with IOSAT potassium iodide tablets.
