Potassium iodide is an inorganic compound composed of potassium (K⁺) and iodide (I⁻) ions. It is a white, crystalline salt that is highly soluble in water and widely used for medical, nutritional, and industrial purposes.
Potassium iodide saturates the thyroid gland with stable iodine, preventing uptake of radioactive iodine isotopes. This mechanism protects the thyroid from radiation-induced damage during nuclear exposure events.

No. Potassium Iodide specifically protects against radioactive iodine isotopes by saturating the thyroid. It does not protect against other forms of radiation such as cesium or plutonium.
Potassium Iodide is more stable, less hygroscopic (absorbs less moisture), and better tolerated, making it ideal for emergency medical use and long-term storage.
Yes, though iodized salt is the primary method for population-level supplementation. KI tablets are reserved for specific medical or emergency use.
