[quote=Wiki]Potassium iodide is an inorganic compound with formula KI. This white salt is the most commercially significant iodide compound, with approximately 37,000 tons produced in 1985. It is less hygroscopic than sodium iodide, making it easier to work with. Aged and impure samples are yellow because of oxidation of the iodide to iodine.[1]
Potassium iodide is used medicinally in tablets, usually containing 130 mg of KI, or as a "saturated solution of potassium iodide" (SSKI) which in the U.S.P. generic formulation contains 1000 mg of KI per mL (or 500 mg in 10 drops, assumed to be 0.5 mL). [2][/quote]
[quote=Wiki]Radiation protection
Following the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster in April, 1986, a saturated solution of potassium iodide (SSKI) was administered to 10.5 million children and 7 million adults in Poland[9] as a prophylactic measure against accumulation of radioactive iodine-131 in the thyroid gland.
Potassium iodide was also approved in 1982 by the US FDA to protect the thyroid glands from radioactive iodine. In the event of an accident or attack at a nuclear power plant, or fallout from a nuclear bomb, several volatile fission product radionuclides may be released. 131I is a common fission by-product and is particularly dangerous as the body concentrates it in the thyroid gland, which may lead to thyroid cancer.[/quote]

Awesome, but what about the other parts in my body?
I mean, I still need something to prevent them from getting cancer, to whatever idiot rated me dumb.

Iodine is specific to the thyroid glands, Iodine-131 was a major problem as a result of the chernobyl incident causing diseases like goiters and cancer as a result of damaged tissue so this drug is specialized for only that.

I can't help but laugh at that
Is it in powdered form and then dissolved? Or does it come in a pill form?

I think he was referring to the title; the name "Rad-X" is exclusive to Fallout 3.

Fallout 3? I'm guessing you've never heard of Fallout 1, Fallout 2, or Fallout: Tactics?
only a matter of time before someone rad-x's the label
I think we all know what we [B]Really[/B] need to survive the Thermonuclear Holocaust.
