Hi, Observe for its side effects. When taken in larger doses iodine can cause metallic taste, increased salivation, swelling of the lips, tongue, and/or throat, severe headache, joint pain, irregular heart beats, tingling and numbness sensation, and decreased urine output. You must visit the emergency room of the nearby hospital if you experience the above side effects. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
