Lugol's iodine

[tee1172]

Where do you buy Lugol's iodine?

 

[Paul B]

You need a prescription. (I think) I got it from a druggist

Most LFS carry it. Also you can get it from many of the board sponsors.

Try these shops out. For the zoo dip, I prefer the regular iodine to the Kent Marine version. I only supplement my tank with Kent Marine. For the dip I use the Regular Lugols iodine.

If you are not a chemist, I would refrain from using Lugol's, it is really easy to overdose this product!!

Lugol's is essentially the same as iodine tincture available at Walgreens for $3. I've used hte tincture forever now and it never failed me.

That's not really true. There are various strengths of iodine tincture and rather than having water as the main component tinture has ethanol.

Doesn't seem to bether anything in the tank, so why spend the extra 8$

I bought my lugol's from ebay, it cost me about $6 shipped.
