  Drugs & Supplements: Iodine (I) (Print Version)
Iodine deficiency is rare in industrialized countries such as the United States, due to enrichment of table salt and cattle feed with iodine.
Iodine supplementation is generally not recommended in developed countries where sufficient iodine intake is common, and excess iodine can actually cause medical complications (including goiter).Iodine supplementation should be considered in cases of known iodine deficiency, and should be administered with medical supervision if possible.
Although goiter due to low iodine intake is rare in developed countries, it may occur in regions with endemic low iodine levels.Initial management of goiter should involve a medical evaluation to identify the underlying cause, and assessment of levels of thyroid hormones in the body.

 Iodine (PIM 280)
Iodine may also be employed as a weak solution for the first- aid treatment of small wounds and abrasions, but it is rapidly inactivated by combining with tissue substances, and so delays healing.
Iodine reaches the blood stream mainly in form of iodide, and it is incorporated into the thyroglobulin form in the thyroid gland, (Jones, 1977).
Iodine in contrast agents and skin disinfectants is the major cause for hypothyroidism in premature infants during intensive care, (L'Allemand et al., 1987).

 Iodine absorption after intraoperative bowel irrigation with povidone-iodine.
The aim of this study was to assess systemic absorption of total iodine and its effect on thyroid function after intrarectal application.
Ten patients with carcinoma of the sigmoid colon (group C) were treated the same as Group A. Electrolyte, total iodine, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and thyroid-stimulating hormone values were measured in serum preoperatively and before intraoperative irrigation and immediately, ten minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours, and two weeks after irrigation.
CONCLUSION: High serum levels of iodine did not cause organ toxicity, suggesting that a single use of intraoperative bowel irrigation with povidone-iodine may be performed with practically negligible risk.

 Contaminated Povidone-Iodine Solution -- Texas
Editorial note: In this outbreak, three patients developed peritonitis, and three had pseudoinfections associated with probable intrinsic contamination of a povidone- iodine solution.
In 1982, a cluster of P. aeruginosa peritonitis cases in peritoneal dialysis patients was associated with a contaminated poloxamer-iodine solution (from a third manufacturer) being used as a peritoneal catheter disinfectant in a hospital (3).
Subsequent laboratory studies revealed that, once affixed to the inner surface of polyvinylchloride distribution pipes and pipes of other compositions, P. cepacia and P. aeruginosa could be protected from the bactericidal effect of the iodophor solution, probably by a glycocalyx film (5,6).
