Płyn lugolowy po katastrofie w Czarnobylu zyskał ogromną popularność, szczególnie jako środek przekazywany dzieciom, celem dostarczania tarczycy tak dużej ilości jodu, że nie byłaby w stanie przyswoić izotopu radioaktywnego jodu z oparów promieniotwórczych. W obecnych czasach płyn stał się popularny w prewencji chorób tarczycy. Czy jednak jest on w ogóle bezpieczny? Jakie jest działanie płynu lugolowego?
It's the Lugol fluid
Lugola fluid is composed of 97% distilled water, 2% potassium iodine and 1% iode. It was developed in 1829 by the French physician Jean Lugola, in Poland is particularly associated with the Chernobyl power plant explosion.
Lugol fluid is in operation
It is bactericidal, helps to fight flu, sore throat, detoxify wounds and surface skin damage. It is also helpful in the treatment of the thyroid. Iodine from Lugola fluid directly affects the so-called Wolff-Chaikoff effect, which is to inhibit the synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (given up to 10 days before the procedure to remove all or part of the gland). However, it is believed that evidence for guidelines for preoperative use of Lugola iodine is insufficient.
Lugol fluid has side effects
High doses of iodine can be dangerous to the body and can be associated with the activation of the thyroid gland, leading to its overactivity, the formation of a thyroid that is difficult to fight, and allergy. The use of Lugola fluid is not a good idea, especially for people who are overly sensitive to Lugola, who may experience inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nasal mucosa, skin inflammation with the lining of the bladder, and may lead to the development of acne, which is very difficult to combat, as well as allergies.
