How This Works
This calculator helps you determine the total number of potassium iodide tablets needed for your household. It accounts for:
- Different dose requirements: Adults need 130mg, children 65mg, and infants smaller doses
- Tablet efficiency: 130mg tablets can be split for children; 65mg tablets require no splitting
- Duration coverage: Calculate for 14 days (minimum), 30 days, 90 days, or any custom period
