Potassium iodide is contraindicated in all of the following conditions, EXCEPT:: (A) Dermatitis herpetiformis, (B) Iodine hypersensitivity, (C) Hypocomplementemic vasculitis, (D) Pregnant women
Answer is D. Persons with dermatitis herpetiformis and hypocomplementemic vasculitis are at increased risk for sensitivity from Potassium Iodide. It is a contraindication in both the conditions. Known iodine allergy is a contraindication. Caution: Iodine may be used in pregnant women, infants, and children, but safety has not been clearly established. Hence, not a contraindication.
