Pharmacological properties

Iodomarin 100 - an iodine preparation for the prevention and treatment of thyroid diseases, helps to restore the iodine content in the body and normalize the thyroid gland function, impaired by iodine deficiency; prevents the development of iodine deficiency pathologies.

Iodine is a trace element that ensures the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. Its hormones, exerting a systemic effect, are responsible in the body for the basic metabolic processes of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and energy, regulate the activity of the nervous system, brain, cardiovascular system, gonads and mammary glands, growth and development of the child.

A particular danger of iodine deficiency in the body is during pregnancy, for breastfeeding women, children and adolescents.

Indications for use

• treatment of diffuse euthyroid goiter caused by iodine deficiency in patients under the age of 40, including children and adolescents;
• prevention of the development of endemic goiter, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as in children and adolescents;
• prevention of recurrence of goiter after the end of treatment with thyroid hormone preparations or its surgical removal.

Contraindications

• hyperthyroidism;
• Duhring's dermatitis herpetiformis;
• simultaneous use of radioactive iodine;
• thyroid cancer (including if it is suspected);
• hypothyroidism, if it is not due to severe iodine deficiency;
• nodular goiter, toxic adenoma of the thyroid gland - if it is necessary to use the drug in a daily dose of more than 300 mcg (except for the preoperative period of therapy aimed at blocking the thyroid gland);
• hypersensitivity to iodine or other components of Iodomarin 100.

Instructions for use of Iodomarin 100: method and dosage

Iodomarin 100 tablets are taken orally, after a meal, with a sufficient amount of liquid.

When treating children, it is recommended to dissolve tablets immediately before taking them in milk or juice.

The dose and duration of treatment is determined by the attending physician based on clinical indications.

Recommended daily dosage of Yodomarin 100:

• goiter prevention: newborns and children under 12 years old - 50-100 mcg of iodine or ½ – 1 pc., patients over 12 years old - 100-200 mcg or 1-2 pcs., during pregnancy and lactation - 200 mcg or 2 pcs.;
• prevention of recurrent goiter: 100-200 mcg or 1-2 pcs;
• treatment of euthyroid goiter: newborns and children under 18 years old - 100-200 mcg or 1-2 pcs., adults up to 40 years old - 300-500 mcg or 3-5 pcs.

Taking pills for prophylactic purposes can last for several years, for the purpose of treatment - for life.

On average, 2–4 weeks are enough for newborns to treat goiter, for children and adults - 0.5–1 years or more.

Side effects

The development of side effects during the use of prophylactic doses of the drug in patients of all age groups or when using Iodomarin 100 for the treatment of euthyroid goiter in newborns and children under the age of 18 is usually not observed.

In rare cases, with prolonged use of the drug, the patient may develop iodism, the signs of which include a metallic taste in the mouth, iodine fever, swelling and inflammation of the mucous membranes (conjunctivitis, runny nose, bronchitis), iodine acne, in some cases - Quincke's edema and exfoliative dermatitis.

When using a daily dose exceeding 150 μg (1.5 tablets), hyperthyroidism can go from a latent form to a manifest one.

Long-term use of the drug in a daily dose of more than 300 mcg increases the risk of iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis, more often in elderly patients with diffuse or nodular toxic goiter.

Overdose

Symptoms: brown staining of the mucous membranes, the appearance of reflex vomiting (vomit becomes blue in the presence of starch-containing components in the food eaten), abdominal pain, diarrhea (including melena). Perhaps - the development of dehydration and shock, in rare cases - esophageal stenosis, the appearance of iodism.

Treatment of acute intoxication: immediate gastric lavage with 5% sodium thiosulfate solution, starch or protein solution until all traces of iodine are removed. Appointment of symptomatic therapy to restore water and electrolyte balance, anti-shock therapy.

Treatment of chronic forms of intoxication: discontinuation of the drug.

With iodine-induced hypothyroidism, it is necessary to cancel the use of Iodomarin 100 and prescribe thyroid hormones to restore metabolic processes.

With mild iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis, treatment is not required. In the case of a pronounced degree of hyperthyroidism, the patient needs thyrostatic therapy, which is characterized by a delayed therapeutic effect. In case of a thyrotoxic crisis, it is necessary to prescribe intensive therapy using thyroidectomy or plasmapheresis.

special instructions

Since the intake of iodine preparations affects the effectiveness of thyreostatic therapy, it is recommended to avoid iodine intake before and during the treatment of hyperthyroidism.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms

According to the instructions, Iodomarin 100 does not affect the patient's ability to control complex mechanisms and vehicles.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

The use of Iodomarin 100 during pregnancy and breastfeeding is shown in a daily dose of 200 mcg, which ensures that a woman receives a sufficient amount of iodine.

Since the drug crosses the placental barrier and is excreted in breast milk, when using it during this period, the recommended dosage should be strictly observed.

Pediatric use

In pediatric practice, Iodomarin 100 is used according to indications.

Drug interactions

• thyrostatic drugs: with an excess of iodine in the body, their therapeutic effect decreases, and with its deficiency, their effect increases; mutual response of thyrostatic drugs - inhibition of the synthesis of thyroid hormones from iodine, which contributes to the formation of goiter. In this regard, during the therapy of hyperthyroidism or before its start, it is recommended, if possible, to avoid taking iodine in any form;
• lithium salts: in combination with high doses of iodine, they can contribute to the appearance of goiter and hypothyroidism;
• potassium-sparing diuretics: against the background of high doses of Iodomarin 100, they can contribute to the development of hyperkalemia.
