What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Kalium Iodine contains two active ingredients: iodine and potassium. Iodine supports thyroid health and is used to prevent or treat iodine deficiency; it's also used after radiation exposure and has been studied for mouth sores and gum disease.

Potassium is an electrolyte your body needs for nerve and muscle function, and it's often taken as a supplement to prevent or correct low blood potassium levels. The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — fillers and binders like dicalcium phosphate, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate — that help hold it together.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: iodine support for thyroid and metabolism.
  • We looked for evidence on: Iodine deficiency, Radiation exposure, thyroid function, metabolic health.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Iodine is rated "Likely Effective" for Radiation exposure (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Iodine is rated "Likely Effective" for Iodine deficiency.

Iodine is likely effective for preventing and treating iodine deficiency and for protecting the thyroid after radiation exposure. It's possibly effective for oral mucositis (mouth sores) and periodontitis (gum disease), but the evidence is less established.

No effectiveness rating is on file for potassium supplements.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Iodine Potassium

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Iodine is well tolerated when taken at normal dietary levels, but high doses can trigger thyroid problems — including hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism — and rare allergic reactions. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, headache, and a metallic taste; long-term high doses can cause acneform skin lesions.

Potassium is generally well tolerated from food, but supplements can dangerously raise blood potassium levels, especially in people with kidney disease. Common side effects are abdominal discomfort, belching, and diarrhea; high levels can cause heart rhythm problems and confusion.

Iodine and potassium are both considered likely safe in pregnancy when used at appropriate medical doses, though iodine's safety in pregnancy carries a possibly unsafe rating as well—talk to your doctor about the right amount for you. For breastfeeding, dietary potassium is fine, but excess iodine can pass into breast milk, so follow medical guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Iodine Potassium

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Iodine, Potassium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 69 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Kalium Iodine if you're on lithium, antithyroid drugs, amiodarone, potassium-sparing diuretics (water pills that save potassium), ACE inhibitors, or ARBs. These combinations raise the risk of thyroid problems or dangerously high potassium levels and often need monitoring.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Kalium Iodine may help if you're iodine deficient or need thyroid support, but it's not for everyone — especially if you take lithium, heart rhythm drugs, or blood pressure medications. Before you start, check your exact medications with your own doctor or pharmacist to confirm it's safe for you.

This product requires appropriate dosing and, in some cases, monitoring.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Kalium Iodine with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium full monograph & interactions

Iodine3 drug types · 7 drugs

Amiodarone (Cordarone)

Combining iodine with amiodarone might cause excessively high iodine levels.
Amiodarone contains 37.3% iodine and can increase iodine levels. Concomitant use with iodine might increase the risk of having excessive iodine levels and adversely affecting thyroid function. Monitor thyroid function.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Antithyroid Drugs

Iodine might alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.
Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking iodine while using antithyroid drugs could alter the effects of the antithyroid drugs.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium

Combining iodine with lithium might have additive hypothyroid effects.
Lithium can inhibit thyroid function. Several case reports suggest that concomitant use of lithium and potassium iodide can reduce thyroid function in otherwise healthy adults. Monitor thyroid function.

Kalium Iodine by Amvilab: Common Questions

Does Kalium Iodine by Amvilab interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Kalium Iodine has a known interaction with 69 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Kalium Iodine contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take Kalium Iodine if I'm pregnant?
Iodine is likely safe in pregnancy at the right dose — your body does need it for the baby's development — but the data also carries a possibly unsafe rating, so the safest approach is to use only the amount your doctor recommends and avoid high-dose products. Talk to your doctor about what's right for you. Potassium from a normal diet is fine, but use supplements only under medical guidance during pregnancy.
Is it okay to take this while breastfeeding?
Potassium from your diet is fine. Iodine is needed for the baby, but excess can pass into breast milk, so follow your doctor's guidance on dose rather than taking high amounts on your own.
What's iodine actually used for in this product?
Iodine supports thyroid function and is used to prevent or treat iodine deficiency. It's also given after radiation exposure to protect the thyroid, and it's possibly effective for mouth sores and gum disease, though that evidence is less clear.
What side effects might I notice?
Most common are nausea, diarrhea, headache, metallic taste, and upset stomach. High doses or long-term use can cause thyroid problems, goiter, or acneform skin lesions. High potassium can cause heart rhythm problems, but that's rare at normal doses. Serious allergic reactions to iodine are rare but possible.
Can I take this if I have kidney disease?
That depends on your specific condition — talk to your doctor. Potassium supplements can be risky if your kidneys don't filter well, because it can build up to unsafe levels.
Should I be concerned if I'm allergic to seafood?
Most people labeled "iodine allergic" are actually reacting to seafood proteins or other compounds, not iodine itself. However, some people can have true hypersensitivity to iodine taken orally — rare but possible. If you've had a bad reaction to iodine before, check with your doctor before taking this product.
