FAQ

¿Es potassium iodide seguro durante el embarazo?

Potassium iodide is not listed as a harmonised reproductive carcinogen in ECHA Annex VI (no Annex VI harmonised H360/H361 found), but there is clear human and regulatory evidence that excess iodide alters maternal and fetal thyroid function (placental transfer of iodide and fetal thyroid uptake). Excess maternal iodine can cause fetal/neonatal hypothyroidism or transient thyroid dysfunction; this supports a 'suspected' reproductive/developmental hazard. Sources: WHO/CDC guidance on KI in pregnancy and PubMed reviews on iodine and pregnancy. (WHO, CDC, PubMed).

¿Es potassium iodide seguro durante la lactancia?

Iodide is secreted into breast milk and maternal iodine status (including excess) affects neonatal thyroid function; therefore lactation is a relevant exposure route with demonstrated mechanism (transfer to infant and thyroid effects). Practical exposure from topical cosmetic use is low but nonzero. (WHO, CDC, PubMed).

¿Es potassium iodide seguro para la piel del bebé?

Infants (0–3 yr) have immature skin barrier and developing thyroids that are particularly sensitive to iodine excess; because iodide is systemically active and transfers across placenta/into milk, topical exposure that gives measurable systemic uptake in adults should be considered higher for infants (exposure +1). Evidence shows neonatal thyroid dysfunction from excess iodide; infant-specific vulnerability supports maintaining the hazard score. (WHO, CDC, PubMed, ATSDR).
