SERB Pharmaceuticals announces ThyroSafe tablets commercially available in the US
SERB Pharmaceuticals, a global specialty pharmaceutical company focused on rare diseases and medical emergencies, has announced that their ThyroSafe potassium iodide (KI) tablets are now commercially available in the United States in a 130 mg dose.
ThyroSafe tablets are designed to offer reliable thyroid blocking in the event of nuclear radiation exposure.
"ThyroSafe 130 mg now provides a Food and Drug Administration-approved adult dose of potassium iodide in a single tablet, as recommended by health authorities for individuals within a 10-mile nuclear Emergency Planning Zone1, 2, 3" said Thomas Kolaras, executive vice president and US chief commercial officer of SERB Pharmaceuticals in a press release posted on their website on 7 May.
"With 94 operating nuclear reactors in the United States, potassium iodide is an important component of emergency preparedness, offering peace of mind for those living near nuclear facilities or who prioritise responsible preparedness. SERB remains committed to supporting public-sector and individual readiness efforts."
In a nuclear radiation emergency, radioactive iodine may be released in the air and breathed in or swallowed. If this occurs, it may enter the thyroid gland and induce damage that may not become apparent until several years later. "ThyroSafe blocks or reduces the chances that radioactive iodine will enter your thyroid gland," writes SERB.
"ThyroSafe 130 mg tablets are offered as a single tablet for adults over the age of 18. Each tablet features a precision-scored design to allow for accurate dosing, splitting cleanly for paediatric use and offering age-appropriate dosing. ThyroSafe is also available in a 65 mg tablet to provide the right dose for children and teens. These options combined make ThyroSafe a cornerstone of family-focused preparedness."
ThyroSafe tablets can be purchased online without a prescription from Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Business Connect, and Business Connect Adventures.
