What is Sski?
Sski (potassium iodide oral solution) is a brand-name prescription expectorant that is prescribed to patients with lung diseases, such as bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), conditions that are complicated by mucus in the lungs.
The active ingredient in Sski, potassium iodide, stimulates glands in the lung to secrete water. The additional water thins out the mucus in the lungs, making it easier to cough up.
Sski was commonly prescribed as an expectorant over 40 years ago, but it is rarely used or prescribed as an expectorant today. Many physicians probably do not know that potassium iodide can be used as an expectorant. Some pharmacies, such as CVS, will not fill a prescription for Sski.
Sski is taken as drops three times a day to loosen mucus in the lung. The dose will depend on the age of the patient.
What are the side effects of Sski?
The most common side effects of Sski include, but are not limited to, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, stomach pain, skin rash, and excess saliva production. Severe but rare side effects include gastrointestinal bleeding and thyroid problems. Allergic reactions are rare.
Iodine can be toxic in large amounts (overdose) or if taken over a long period of time (chronic iodine poisoning or iodism). If you notice any symptoms of iodine poisoning, such as unusually large amounts of saliva, sore teeth, sore gums, burning in the mouth, severe headaches, sore eyes, or a metal taste in your mouth, consult with your doctor immediately.
