Jodomarin contains potassium iodide, which is a source of iodine deficiency in its environment and in food. Without iodine can not be a normal function of the thyroid gland, as part of its hormones include iodine. Since the thyroid gland has an active effect on the whole body, with a deficiency of iodine disrupted many organs and systems.

How does jodomarin

Jodomarin (active substance potassium iodide) - a drug that belongs to a substance that breaks down in the body to form iodine ions. The most pronounced effect the medication has on thyroid function, because iodine ions are part of the thyroid hormones. Once in the body, jodomarin with blood enters the thyroid gland, which breaks down to form iodine ions. Recent participate in the formation of thyroid hormones thyroxine Thyroxine - the main thyroid hormone   and triiodothyronine (T3 and T4).

Thyroid hormones are involved in all types of metabolism, thus exerting an impact on the operation of all organs and systems of the human body. Direct stimulating action of thyroid hormones have on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Therefore, an increase in thyroid function is always evolving palpitations and increased neuro-psychic activity.

Effect of iodine contained in jodomarin, metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   manifested increased dissimilation processes, ie decomposition of organic substances into simple substances. In atherosclerosis iodine preparations cause a reduction in the amount of cholesterol and fatty acids in the blood. Also destroy blood proteins to facilitate their coagulation, resulting in excessive bleeding may occur.

Inside jodomarin prescribed mainly for the prevention of endemic goiter in its deficit in a given area, as well as for the prevention of recurrence after treatment of the disease.

It may be best to take the general population, but especially in need of such additional "feeding" iodine people at risk - children, teenagers, pregnant women and women who breastfeed.

With a lack of iodine in the body during pregnancy baby may be born mentally retarded. In children (including those who are breastfed when iodine deficiency in the mother) and adolescents may come stunted growth and mental development. Jodomarin stimulates the secretion of breast milk.

Assign jodomarin also conducted after medical or surgical treatment of endemic goiter in order to prevent recurrence of the disease. This allows the body to maintain its normal state, without fear of re-emergence of the crop.

Sometimes jodomarin prescribed in preparation for a resection (removal) of the thyroid gland during its enhanced features and manifestations of hyperthyroidism. This contributes to a temporary blockage of the thyroid gland and improves the condition of patients before surgery.

Assign jodomarin in the treatment of euthyroid (without thyroid dysfunction) goiter in children. Including the newborn.

From prevention to appoint jodomarin in areas with high radiation in order to "block access" into the body from radioactive iodine.

Is it possible to overdose

Overdose jodomarin possible, so better to take medication prescribed by a doctor. Signs of overdose are staining of mucosal brown, vomiting (if food were traces of starch, then vomit stained blue), abdominal pain Abdominal pain: Types and Symptoms , Diarrhea (sometimes appearing in the stool blood impurities). In some cases, it may develop dehydration and shock, with loss of consciousness and a transition to a state of coma.

Sometimes, due to irritation of the mucous membranes of developing stenosis (narrowing) of the esophagus, as well as the phenomenon of yodizma - chronic intoxication iodine preparations. Yodizma manifested as watery eyes, cough, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, headaches and acne Acne: facial trouble .

In acute intoxication jodomarin canceled washed stomach starch solution until complete disappearance of blue color of vomit. Simultaneously, treatment aimed at the restoration of the disturbed functions of the organism. If signs yodizma simply cancel jodomarin.

Jodomarin - a drug that is well tolerated only when the right (by a doctor) application.
