Iodine

About Iodine

Essential trace element, fastest acting thyroid inhibitor, Antithyroid agent.

Mechanism of Action of Iodine

It is the fastest acting thyroid inhibitor which inhibits hormone release. It reduced to iodide response to both iodine and iodides are identical. Endocytosis of colloid and proteolysis of thyroglobulin comes to a halt. It has a direct action on thyroid cells and also attenuate TSH and cyclic AMP induced thyroid stimulation. Excess iodide inhibits it`s on transport in thyroid cells and alter the redox potential of cells; thus interfering with iodination and reduces T3 or T4 synthesis. The gland if enlarged; shrinks, becomes firm and less vascular. The thyroid status returns to normal at a faster rate.

Pharmacokinets of Iodine

Absorption: Well absorbed orally.
Distribution: Widely distributed in the body and also crosses the placenta.

Potassium Iodide

About Potassium Iodide

N/A

Mechanism of Action of Potassium Iodide

It works in the thyroid gland. By inhibiting thyroid hormone synthesis and release, thyroid gland vascularity is reduced, thyroid gland tissue becomes firmer, thyroid cell size is reduced, follicular colloid reaccumulates, and bound iodine levels increase. As a protectant following radiation exposure, KI blocks the uptake of radioactive iodine isotopes by the thyroid gland thereby minimizing the risk of radiation-induced thyroid neoplasms.

Indications for Potassium Iodide

1.Potassium Iodide is oral antithyroid agent. Potassium Iodide is used as an adjunct to other antithyroid agents in the treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis and preoperatively to induce thyroid involution.
2.To protect the thyroid gland from radiation injury before and following administration of radioactive iodide (e.g., for diagnostic purposes) and in radiation emergencies (e.g., accidental exposure to radiation).
3.Chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema(expectorant).
4.Component of some eye drops.
5.Antifungal: Cutaneous Sporotrichosis is a fungus that can cause lesions on the skin. A saturated solution of potassium iodide can be used to treat the lesion.

Mechanism of Action of Tannic acid

Tannic acid has anti-bacterial, anti-enzymatic and astringent properties. The anti-oxidant and anti-mutagenic properties of tannic acid are beneficial. Tannic Acid is used in dental preparation due to its astringent action. It helps in shrinking the swollen mucosa and heals ulcer faster.
