Iodine - a trace element that is responsible for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland, affects the state of all vital human organs. Iodine deficiency, causing a hormonal malfunction of the thyroid gland, leads to disruption of metabolic processes associated with the provision of the body with proteins, carbohydrates, fats and energy, causes a disorder in the functional activity of the brain, cardiovascular and nervous system, mammary and gonads.

Side effects

• on the part of the endocrine system: against the background of the use in a daily dose of more than 150 mcg - hyperthyroidism can go from hidden to manifest form; against the background of taking the drug in a daily dose exceeding 300 μg, the development of iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis is possible, more often in the treatment of diffuse toxic goiter or nodular goiter in elderly patients suffering from an enlarged thyroid gland for a long time;
• allergic reactions: rarely - iodism; in some cases - exfoliative dermatitis, Quincke's edema.

Overdose

Symptoms: mucous membranes turn brown, abdominal pain, reflex vomiting (vomit can be blue in the presence of starch-containing components in the eaten food), diarrhea (including melena). With a severe degree of intoxication, dehydration and shock may develop. In rare cases - esophageal stenosis, iodism.

Treatment: acute intoxication - thorough, until there are no traces of iodine, gastric lavage with 5% sodium thiosulfate solution, starch or protein solution. Appointment of symptomatic therapy to restore water and electrolyte balance, anti-shock therapy.

In case of chronic intoxication, the use of Iodomarin 200 should be discontinued.

In case of iodine-induced hypothyroidism, the drug should be discontinued and thyroid hormones should be taken to restore metabolic processes in the body.

With a mild form of iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis, special therapy is not required. For the treatment of severe forms of the disease, it is necessary to prescribe thyreostatic therapy, the effect of which is always delayed. In case of a thyrotoxic crisis, intensive care measures are taken, including the use of plasmapheresis or thyroidectomy.

special instructions

Therapeutic doses of Yodomarin 200 for the prevention of iodine deficiency in patients of all age groups usually do not cause the development of side effects.

Symptoms of the development of iodism are as follows: the appearance of a metallic taste in the mouth, swelling and inflammation of the mucous membranes (development of rhinitis, conjunctivitis and / or bronchitis), iodine fever, iodine acne.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms

According to the instructions, Iodomarin 200 does not affect the patient's ability to concentrate and the speed of psychomotor reactions, therefore, during therapy there are no restrictions on driving vehicles and complex mechanisms.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, an adequate intake of iodine into the body is ensured by taking the drug in a daily dose of 200 μg.

Do not exceed the recommended dose of Yodomarin 200 during pregnancy and during breastfeeding, since iodine passes through the placenta and into breast milk.

Pediatric use

In pediatrics, Iodomarin 200 is used according to clinical indications in the dose recommended by the doctor.

Drug interactions

With the simultaneous use of Iodomarin 200 with thyrostatic drugs, the processes of synthesis of iodine by the thyroid gland into thyroid hormones are inhibited, which increases the risk of goiter. Before and during the treatment of hyperthyroidism with thyreostatic drugs, any iodine preparations should not be taken, since excess iodine lowers, and iodine deficiency increases the effectiveness of therapy.

Lithium salts against the background of high doses of iodine can contribute to the appearance of goiter and hypothyroidism.

Potassium-sparing diuretics, when combined with high doses of iodine, can cause hyperkalemia.
