Iodine after oral absorption crosses the placenta and an excess of iodine is harmful to the fetus: the use of iodine during pregnancy is associated with goiter, hypothyroidism, respiratory problems, enlarged heart, compression of the trachea and neonatal death.
Iodine is excreted in breast milk. The use of excessive doses of iodine in breastfeeding mothers can increase the level of iodine in breast milk and cause transient hypothyroidism in infants. The use of iodine, even when applied topically, is generally to be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Avoid contact with eyes. Do not take the medicine for long periods of time. Use, especially if prolonged, can give rise to sensitization phenomena. In this case, interrupt the treatment and adopt suitable therapeutic measures. Since iodine and iodide can impair thyroid function, it is recommended to use with caution in subjects with thyroid disease, in patients over 45 years of age or with goiter.
Although iodine is required for the production of thyroid hormones, excessive amounts can cause hyperthyroidism or even paradoxical goiter and hypothyroidism. In pediatric age use only in case of real need and under medical supervision. It is advisable to avoid the use of gargle preparations in children, who almost never manage to gargle without swallowing a large part of the preparation.
The medicine should not be used in adolescent patients due to the potential for acne induction and effects on the thyroid gland. Discontinue treatment at least 10 days before performing a labeled iodine scan. Following treatment, the results of thyroid function tests may be altered, especially in premature babies.
