Dude - The tabs we have are 85mg each which yield 50mg of elemental iodine.
Adult dosage is 2 tablets minimum daily dose for 3-14 days as directed by authorites (which means to me that I take them for a few days longer)
We bought enough to be able to dose our dog as well. Gracie's health is important to me so we have actually stockpiled enough food and water for her in our regular hoard of stuff for ourselves. Some people would resort to eating their pets if there was no food around, I'm not one of them.
I'm reading up on the dosages and have yet to find a website that has availability of either Potassium iodide or Potassium iodate.
AJ can probably tell us the molecular difference in the two.
From what I have read, potassoum iodate is an acceptable alternative to Potassium iodide and has a longer shelf life.
