| goiter, iodide | Just as too little iodine can cause thyroid disease, so may prolonged intake of too much iodine also lead to the development of goiter (swelling of the thyroid gland) and hypothyroidism (abnormally low thyroid activity). Certain foods and medications contain large amounts of iodine. Examples include seaweed; iodine-rich expectorants (such as SSKI and Lugol's solution) used in the treatment of cough, asthma, chronic pulmonary disease; and amiodarone (Cardorone), an iodine-rich medication used in the control of abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmias).

| mercurous iodide | HgI;used externally as an ointment in eye diseases. Synonym: mercury protoiodide, yellow mercury iodide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metocurine iodide | (+)-O,O'-dimethylchondrocurarine diiodide;a nondepolarising neuromuscular blocking agent used to provide relaxation during surgical operations. Synonym: dimethyl d-tubocurarine, dimethyl tubocurarine iodide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| potassium iodide | <chemical> An inorganic compound that is used as a source of iodine in thyrotoxic crisis and in the preparation of thyrotoxic patients for thyroidectomy. Chemical name: Potassium iodide (KI) (12 Dec 1998) |
| sodium iodide | <chemical> Sodium iodide (nai). A compound forming white, odourless deliquescent crystals and used as iodine supplement, expectorant or in its radioactive (I-131) form as an diagnostic aid, particularly for thyroid function determinants. Chemical name: Sodium iodide (NaI) (12 Dec 1998) |
| sodium iodide iodine-131 | Prepared from radioactive iodine (131I); practically carrier-free, with a half-life of 8.0 days; used as a diagnostic agent in suspected thyroid disease and in the treatment of selected thyroid diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
