Jodix is used to prevent the effects of radioactive iodine deposition on the thyroid gland in the event of a nuclear explosion or accident. Radioactive iodine travels with the breathing air to the lungs and is stored in the thyroid gland, allowing the thyroid gland to receive a high dose of radiation. This can cause

 

hypothyroidism or late-onset thyroid tumors. The active substance in Jodix tablets is potassium iodide, which blocks the accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland by *0 to *9% when a single dose is taken as soon as the risk of radioactive fallout becomes known. If the tablet is delayed by 3 to 4 hours, the protective effect is only about *0%. The protective effect of a single dose lasts for 1 to 2 days. Tablets should always be available at home, in the workplace, and in shelters.
