What is in Potassium Iodide Tablets 130 mg?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 tablet. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calciumas Dicalcium PhosphateCalcium (Form: as Dicalcium Phosphate) | 20 mg | 2% | 91% of 17,831 products listing calcium give more (median 115 mg). |
| Phosphorusas Dicalcium PhosphatePhosphorus (Form: as Dicalcium Phosphate) | 20 mg | 2% | 88% of 3,786 products listing phosphorus give more (median 90 mg). |
| Potassium Iodide | 130 mg | 86,667%* | This amount is far outside what other labels list for iodine, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.

- 88% of the 3,786 products that print an amount of phosphorus list more than its 20 mg of phosphorus (median 90 mg).
