Potassium Perchlorate
Potassium perchlorate is an inorganic salt that acts as a competitive inhibitor of the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS), blocking iodide uptake into the thyroid gland and thereby reducing thyroid hormone synthesis. It is used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis, and has been used to prevent iodide-induced hyperthyroidism during iodinated contrast administration.
