Iodine and Radioactivity

We have been fielding a lot of concerned calls from patients about the need for iodine in light of the radiation exposure from Japan. We are encouraging patients to not be alarmed by the media and not fear an exposure. Potassium iodine has many benefits but can be harmful if taken unnecessarily or at high doses. If you have a concern we always appreciate your questions.
