• 1 tablet with an engraving of "EM 33" – 130,8 mkg that is equivalent to 100 mkg of iodine;
• 1 tablet "I eat 70 with an engraving" – 261,6 mkg that is equivalent to 200 mkg of iodine.

Auxiliary components: starch corn, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide colloid, cellulose microcrystallic, lactoses monohydrate, cellulose powder.

Indications to use

• Prevention of a local craw and other iodine deficiency pathologies, especially at women during pregnancy and feeding by a breast;
• Prevention of a recurrence of an enlargement of the thyroid gland after completion of hormonal therapy or surgical removal of a craw;
• Treatment of a diffusion euthyroid craw (age category – from newborns to adult patients of young age).

Contraindications

• Hyperthyroidism;
• Cancer of a thyroid gland (including at suspicion on its existence);
• Subclinical hyperthyroidism (for an iodine dose more than 150 mkg a day);
• Diffusion and focal functional autonomy of a thyroid gland and solitary toxic adenomas of a thyroid gland;
• Herpetiform dermatitis of Dyuringa;
• Nodal toxic craw (except carrying out blockade of a thyroid gland at a preparation for surgery);
• Syndrome of glyukozo-galaktozny malabsorption, intolerance of a galactose, insufficiency of lactase;
• Hypersensitivity to iodine.

At a hypothyroidism of Yodbalans it is not necessary to accept, except cases when development of a disease is caused by the expressed iodine deficiency.

It is necessary to avoid co-administration of drug at therapeutic use of a radioiodine.

Because of risk of development of a hyperpotassemia with caution it is recommended to take iodine at a renal failure.

Route of administration and dosage

Pill is taken inside, after food, washing down with enough liquid.

Babies and children under 3 years should dissolve a tablet in 1 tablespoon of boiled water of room temperature.

At purpose of drug it is necessary to consider features of the region of residence and amount of the iodine arriving with food, it is especially important when determining a dose for children up to 4 years.

The daily dose is accepted once, the recommended dosing:

• Prevention of iodine deficiency pathologies: to newborns and children – on 50-100 mkg, teenagers and adults – on 100-200 mkg of iodine, during pregnancy and breastfeeding – on 100-200 mkg;
• Prevention of a recurrence of an enlargement of the thyroid gland after completion of hormonal therapy or surgical removal of a craw: on 100-200 mkg of iodine daily;
• Treatment of a diffusion euthyroid craw: to newborns and children – on 100-200 mkg, teenagers and adult patients of young age – on 200 mkg of iodine.

The doctor determines duration of reception of Yodbalans individually, depending on clinical indications. Usually, duration of treatment of a craw at newborns makes – 0,5-1 month, at children, teenagers and adults there are 6-12 months and more, preventive reception – of several months or years, is frequent – throughout all life.

Side effects

Yodbalans's use can seldom cause development of allergic reactions in the form of skin rash and a Quincke's edema.

Special instructions

Use of iodine can be begun only after an exception at the patient of a hyperthyroidism, a nodal toxic craw or existence of the specified pathologies in the anamnesis.

At Yodbalans's appointment patients with a renal failure need to consider a possibility of development of a hyperpotassemia.

At patients with predisposition to autoimmune thyroid diseases formation of antibodies to thyroperoxidase is possible.

When using a radioiodine in the diagnostic or therapeutic purposes of its accumulation the saturation of a thyroid gland iodine can interfere. Therefore before use of a radioiodine Yodbalans's reception should be stopped.

It is impossible to break the dosing mode, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

At drug use by the woman during feeding by a breast additional purpose of iodine is not required to the child.

The iodbalance does not exert impact on ability of the patient to control of vehicles and mechanisms.

Medicinal interaction

The iodbalance reduces therapeutic effect of anti-thyroid means.

Potassium perchlorate reduces iodine absorption by a thyroid gland.

Simultaneous use of high doses of drugs of iodine with kaliysberegayushchy diuretics can cause development of a hyperpotassemia, lithium drugs – to promote emergence of a craw and a hypothyroidism.

Thyritropic hormone stimulates iodine absorption process with a thyroid gland and his metabolism.

Terms and storage conditions

To store in the place protected from light at a temperature up to 30 °C. To protect from children.

Period of validity – 3 years.
