Use in Children and Adolescents

Yoduk Complex is not indicated in children under 14 years of age.

If you take more Yoduk Complex than you should

Very high doses of folic acid and vitamin B12, higher than those of Yoduk Complex, are well tolerated, so there is no risk of intoxication even with accidental massive ingestion.

In the case of iodine, administration of high doses (in the range of milligrams) or for long periods may produce a picture of iodism, characterized by metallic taste, burning in the mouth, painful sensitivity in teeth and gums, increased salivation, sneezing, and eye irritation with swelling of the eyelids. It can also cause severe headache, cough, pulmonary edema, and swelling and discomfort of the glands located below the jaw.

The pharynx, larynx, and tonsils can also become inflamed.

The signs and symptoms of iodism usually disappear spontaneously after a few days of discontinuing treatment.

In seborrheic areas, moderate eruptions may appear, rarely severe eruptions (rashes).

Gastric irritation is common when very high doses are ingested.

The use of high doses of potassium iodide or for long periods may cause hyperplasia (increase) of the thyroid gland, goiter, and severe hypothyroidism.

Excess iodine is harmful to the fetus.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested (or go to a medical center).

If you forget to take Yoduk Complex

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses. Simply take the forgotten dose when you remember and take the next doses with the indicated interval between doses (24 hours).

If you stop taking Yoduk Complex

If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
