Taj Pharma stands as a leading manufacturer and supplier of Potassium Iodide Tablets in India, delivering high-quality thyroid-blocking solutions essential for public health during radiation emergencies. Our product, TAJZOSAT (Potassium Iodide Tablets, USP 65mg), is formulated under rigorous international pharmaceutical standards and is trusted globally for emergency preparedness.
What is Potassium Iodide?
Potassium Iodide (KI) is a critical antithyroid agent used for thyroid blocking in radiation emergencies. When radioactive iodine is released during nuclear accidents, such as in Fukushima or Chernobyl, KI tablets help protect the thyroid gland by saturating it with non-radioactive iodine, effectively preventing radioactive iodine absorption.

Therapeutic Indication and Usage
Potassium Iodide Tablets are strictly indicated for thyroid blocking in a nuclear or radiation emergency. They reduce the risk of thyroid cancer and other thyroid complications by blocking the uptake of radioactive iodine. This is vital protection for adults, children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, especially in high-exposure zones.
How Potassium Iodide Works – Mechanism of Action
The thyroid gland cannot distinguish between radioactive and non-radioactive iodine. KI Tablets work through:
- Saturation of the thyroid gland with stable iodine.
- Blocking uptake of radioactive iodine from contaminated air, water, or food.
- Time-sensitive administration ensures optimal thyroid protection when taken immediately after exposure.
Who Should Take Potassium Iodide Tablets?
- Individuals within a 10–20 km radius of nuclear facilities.
- Workers in nuclear, radiological, or defense sectors.
- Vulnerable groups like children, infants, and pregnant women.
- First responders and emergency health professionals.
- People living in regions prone to geopolitical nuclear threats.
Directions for Use
- Do not exceed 1 dose in 24 hours.
- Tablets may be swallowed whole or crushed and mixed in liquids such as milk or juice for children.
- Infants and non-tablet-swallowing individuals can be administered the crushed tablet mixture.
Dosage Guidelines
| Age Group | Recommended Dose of KI | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Adults over 18 years | 130mg | One dose every 24 hours during exposure |
| Adolescents 12-18 years (>70kg) | 130mg | As above |
| Children 3-12 years | 65mg | As above |
| 1 month – 3 years | 32mg | As above |
| Infants <1 month | 16mg | As above |
