HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium Iodide 130 mg by Number One Nutrition

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: potassium iodide at 130 mg per tablet. Potassium iodide is a mineral supplement — potassium for electrolyte balance and iodine for thyroid function.

The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients used as binders and flow agents: microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, stearic acid, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and croscarmellose sodium.

Does it work?

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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Potassium product and its label doesn't state a use — see Potassium's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The product facts we have don't include effectiveness ratings for potassium iodide, so we can't tell you from our data how well it works for its intended purpose. If you have questions about whether it's right for your specific health goal, your doctor or pharmacist can help you weigh the evidence.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Potassium is generally well tolerated when you take it by mouth. The most common side effects are digestive — abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting.

Serious side effects from high potassium levels are rare but dangerous: they include irregular heartbeat, heart block, low blood pressure, and mental confusion. Because potassium from food is fine but supplements carry risk, the safety data advises caution.

Supplements should only be used under medical guidance, especially if you have kidney disease, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. If you fall into any of those groups, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Potassium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 62 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.

Before you start this supplement, double-check with your pharmacist if you take any of these: potassium-sparing diuretics (water pills like spironolactone), ACE inhibitors (blood pressure drugs ending in '-pril'), or angiotensin receptor blockers (blood pressure drugs ending in '-sartan'). All three raise your risk of dangerously high potassium levels when combined with this product.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Potassium Iodide 130 mg is a straightforward mineral supplement, but it's not a casual one — potassium interacts with common blood pressure and heart medications and can build up to dangerous levels in your body, especially if your kidneys aren't working well. If you take an ACE inhibitor, ARB, or potassium-sparing diuretic, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before you buy.

Talk with your pharmacist to make sure it's right for you.

Potassium Iodide3 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.

Potassium Iodide 130 mg by Number One Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Potassium Iodide 130 mg by Number One Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potassium Iodide 130 mg has a known interaction with 62 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Potassium Iodide 130 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Is potassium iodide safe during pregnancy?
According to the safety data, potassium from food is appropriate during pregnancy, but supplements should only be used under medical guidance. If you're pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, talk with your doctor before taking this supplement.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Dietary potassium is fine, but the data advises checking with your doctor before using supplements while breastfeeding. Your doctor can advise you based on your individual situation.
What's the difference between potassium from food and potassium supplements?
Potassium from a normal diet is safe and necessary. Supplements, on the other hand, can cause dangerously high blood potassium levels in some people, especially those with kidney disease. That's why supplements need medical guidance.
What are the most common side effects?
Taking potassium by mouth usually causes digestive upset — things like abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. These are generally mild, but if they're bothersome or don't go away, let your pharmacist know.
What happens if potassium gets too high in my body?
High potassium can cause an irregular heartbeat, heart block, a sudden drop in blood pressure, or confusion. These are serious but rare — which is why it's so important to check your medications before starting this supplement and only use it under medical guidance.
