| Reason for the Action |
In one batch of Preconception Multi for Women it was identified that a new source of potassium iodide used in the manufacturing process had a larger, more crystalline particle size than specified.
This led to an uneven distribution of iodine in the blend, which may result in some capsules containing too much or too little iodine.
Potential symptoms of excess iodine (if consumed) may include: · Burning in the mouth or throat · Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea · Rapid heart rate or other signs of hyperthyroidism (rare, and primarily in sensitive individuals) ·In severe cases, iodine poisoning may involve swelling of airways, cyanosis, weak pulse or coma.
There is also the potential for iodine deficiency if the product is lacking the active ingredient.
