Potassium iodide (KI) is a chemical compound and medication that can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Lung problems: KI can be used as an expectorant to help with long-term lung problems like asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. 
  • Thyroid surgery: KI can be used to prepare the thyroid gland for surgery. 
  • Radiation emergencies: KI is a non-radioactive form of iodine that can help prevent the thyroid gland from absorbing radioactive iodine that may be released into the environment during a radiation emergency. 
  • Hyperthyroidism: KI can be used to treat hyperthyroidism, also known as thyroid storm or thyrotoxic crisis. 
  • Skin infections: KI can be used to treat skin sporotrichosis and phycomycosis.

KI is an odorless white solid that mixes with and sinks in water. It can be taken as a pill or liquid. When taken orally, KI should be taken in a full glass of water or in fruit juice, milk, or broth to improve the taste and lessen stomach upset.
