Possible Interaction: Glycerol and Iodine

“Cough frequency, cough severity, chest discomfort, patients' ease in bringing up sputum, patients' overall condition, and a derived subject global assessment were significantly (p less than 0.05) improved by iodinated glycerol as compared with placebo within eight weeks of treatment.”

“ Iodine and iodine-containing drugs (e.g radiographic contrast media, iodinated glycerol and amiodarone) can have profound and variable effects on thyroid function.”

“Since we submitted our original article, we have identified an additional 63-year-old man, who, while receiving iodinated glycerol , developed overt hypothyroidism.”

“These findings support the notion that patients with subclinical hypothyroidism may be at a higher risk to develop further impairment of thyroid function when given iodinated glycerol.”

“Thus, the development of subclinical or overt hypothyroidism with administration of iodinated glycerol was quite unexpected in these elderly nursing home residents.”

“Stabilization of I " against irreversible aggregation by glycerol results in increased yield of the protein refolding and a complex temperature dependence of the protein renaturation.”

“ Glycerin itself, and a solution of ichthyol in glycerin, are perhaps more comforting, but I have no faith in their limiting power.”

“True, there was, one night, reference made to the value of iodine in the treatment of certain uiterine … reference served rather to illustrate the proverbial saying that doctors differ; because, while onc eminenit authority dleclared that iodine is most valuable … conjunction with glycerine , another no less … exactly opposite opinion.”
