It is intended for use only by those who are in the direct path of radiation or fallout, and must be used in the hours before and after the actual radioactive exposure to be effective. There is no benefit to taking potassium iodide outside the window of exposure, taking more than necessary, or taking it for a longer period than specified.View full resource at prweb.com
