What interacts with it
Iodinated contrast media already provide a large iodine load. Combining them with Iodine or Sea Moss (Irish Moss), which may also contribute iodine, can increase concern about thyroid dysfunction in susceptible patients. Reported possible effects include Jod-Basedow hyperthyroidism or Wolff-Chaikoff hypothyroidism; these reflect different thyroid responses to a high iodine exposure.
This is a concern around imaging rather than a combination that can be managed simply by spacing doses apart. Anyone using Iodine or Sea Moss (Irish Moss) who is scheduled for imaging with iodinated contrast should discuss the supplement with the radiology team, prescriber, or pharmacist. Decisions about iodine supplements before imaging should follow the guidance of the relevant clinician.
