About Potassium Iodide

We have been setting benchmarks of success in the market as a prominent organization engaged in offering Potassium Iodide. It is indicated for the treatment of dermatitis and ulcerations, and for the control of urine odor, caused by ammoniacal urine in incontinent adults. To comply with set safety norms, we use finest quality compounds to process this drug. It is also indicated in infants for the treatment of diaper rash. Potassium Iodide promotes the synthesis of glutathione. It is prescribed as an alternative to acetylcysteine for the treatment of paracetamol poisoning.
