Just as too little iodine can cause
thyr
oid 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).
