Symptoms of acute iodine poisoning include an unpleasant metallic taste, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Kidney failure may occur after 1-3 days. Death may be caused by circulatory failure, epiglottic edema causing asphyxia, aspiration, pneumonia, or pulmonary edema. Esophageal stricture may occur if the patient is experiencing an acute stage. The lethal dose of iodine is from 2 to 3 g. Symptomatic treatment of allergic reactions and iodism may be required, although symptoms usually disappear quickly when you stop taking iodine or iodide. In acute poisoning, you should give copious sips of milk and starch mucus. In the absence of damage to the esophagus, the stomach can be emptied by aspiration and washing with dilute starch mucus or 1% sodium thiosulfate solution, it has also been suggested to use gastric lavage with activated carbon. The electrolyte and water losses should be replaced and the circulation should be maintained. Pethidine or morphine sulfate can be given for pain under the supervision of a doctor. A tracheotomy may be required

Swelling and inflammation of the throat, acne of the skin, depression, insomnia, impotence, and diarrhea (which can be bloody) can also lead to this.
Report of suspected adverse reactions
It is important to report suspicious adverse reactions after obtaining approval for the use of the drug. This allows you to continue monitoring the benefit/risk balance of the drug. Medical professionals are asked to report any suspicious adverse reactions under the Yellow Card scheme to: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.

For use in the preoperative treatment of hyperthyroidism.
Iodine and iodides are used in the preoperative treatment of hyperthyroidism in combination with antithyroid drugs. The patient is given euthyroid therapy with an antithyroid drug and iodine or iodides are added to the therapy before subtotal thyroidectomy. An aqueous solution of iodine is administered to firm the thyroid gland and prevent increased vascularity and looseness with an increased risk of bleeding, which can occur as a result of the use of an antithyroid agent only.
The iodine is converted into iodide, which is retained in the thyroid gland.
Iodides are mainly excreted in the urine, in smaller amounts - with feces, sweat and saliva. They pass through the placenta and are excreted in breast milk.
