A member asked:
I'm allergic to radioactive iodine. i was wondering if other thyroid meds have the iodine in them as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are you sure?: Are you allergic to iodide in contrast material? Allergy to the small amount of i in rai is extremely rare. Thyroid hormones all have i. You need to discuss this with your doctor or see a thyroidologist.
