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.

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 has one active ingredient: potassium iodide 130 mg. It's a single-ingredient supplement.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, croscarmellose sodium, and silicon dioxide — which are fillers and binders that help the tablet hold together and dissolve.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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.

Our data doesn't include effectiveness ratings for potassium iodide in this product, so we can't tell you what the evidence shows for how well it works or what it's intended to do. If you want to know whether it's right for your health goal, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

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 from food is fine, but supplements can raise your blood levels dangerously — especially if you have kidney disease. The product is generally well tolerated, but most common side effects when taken by mouth are abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, and vomiting.

Rare but serious effects include irregular heartbeats, low blood pressure, heart block, and confusion from high potassium levels. Slow-release potassium tablets have also been linked to bleeding ulcers in the upper small intestine.

During pregnancy, dietary potassium is appropriate, but use supplements only under medical guidance. While breastfeeding, check with your doctor before taking potassium supplements.

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 take this, double-check any potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs you're taking. All three interact with potassium supplements at Moderate severity and can cause dangerously high potassium levels.

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.

If you're on a blood pressure medication — especially a potassium-sparing diuretic, ACE inhibitor, or ARB — you need to talk with your pharmacist or doctor before taking this product. Potassium supplements can push your blood levels into a dangerous range when combined with these drugs.

Your kidney function matters too.

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.
