Potassium iodide, which is distributed to citizens, is able to neutralize the effect of radioactive iodine on the body.
Pediatricians and family doctors in Lutsk began to give potassium iodide tablets to patients. The corresponding order was issued by the Health Department of the Volyn Regional State Administration. On Wednesday, June 28, the Volyn News Service reported.
It was noted that the drugs were distributed to the residents of the city to “prepare them for” possible danger “.
“We advise that the pill is always at hand, it is better to carry it with you, for example, in your purse,” advises Oksana Leshchinska, director of the Lutsk City Children’s Clinic, to her patients.
At the same time, as the doctors assured, they do not recommend people to take drugs “for prevention”, but only in case of a real threat to health.
“We emphasize: taking potassium iodide just like that, without the need, is strictly prohibited,” the experts emphasized.
The Department of Health of the Lutsk City Council noted that all health institutions were provided with medicine in the correct amount.
“This is done so that people don’t have to look for it when needed,” explained officials in the initiative.
Near the fourth of the sixth power units of the ZNPP, Russian troops placed devices with explosives. This was announced by the head of GUR Kirill Budanov.
In connection with the possible Russian terrorist attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, from today, the work of the headquarters was launched in Ukraine, which will be attended by power engineers, representatives of the State Emergency Service, police, and doctors.
