iodine, povidone or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)<\/li><li>If you have disorders of thyroid function<\/li><li>within 2 weeks before or after:<ul><li>An

you do not accidentally get the medicine down into the airways as this can cause&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;in the lungs (&nbsp;pneumonitis&nbsp;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discoloration can occur if you have a denture, braces, or the like.\u00a0If possible, it is therefore recommended to remove the denture, braces, or the like before treatment with this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

radioiodine diagnostics).\u00a0See section &#8220;Do not use it&#8221;.<\/li><li>Nyodex can affect the results of certain laboratory tests e.g.\u00a0measurement
