Xymodine Disease Interactions
There are 4 disease interactions with Xymodine (iodine / potassium iodide).
Iodide salts (applies to Xymodine) hyperthyroidism
Moderate Potential Hazard, Low plausibility.
The use of iodide salts has been associated with the exacerbation or precipitation of hyperthyroidism in patients previously euthyroid. Induction of goiter has been reported in patients with hyperthyroidism. Iodide salts should be administered cautiously in patients with hyperthyroidism.

Potassium iodide (applies to Xymodine) heart disease
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.
Potassium iodide should not be used in patients that have nodular thyroid disease and heart disease. Patients experiencing irregular heartbeats or chest pain should be instructed to stop treatment with potassium iodide.
