Potassium Iodide Dosages

Posted March 15th, 2011 by Michael Janzen and filed in Prepping, Self-Reliance

The nuclear disaster in Japan re-triggered my interest in nuclear preparedness, although I’m not out in the backyard digging… I’m not that worried yet.

But I did order some before the shelves ran dry and just found an article on how much Potassium Iodide to take and how it works.

The dosages are as follows:

  • Adults – 130 mg
  • Breastfeeding Women – 130 mg
  • Children 3-18 – 65 mg
  • Children over 150 lbs – 130 mg
  • Infants & Children 0-3 yrs – 32 mg
  • Newborn – 16mg
