Diorganopolysiloxane dosage forms for the controlled release of iodine values

摘要

Silicone dosage forms adapted for the continuous and controlled release of iodine values, notably to domestic water supplies for the treatment of the various disease states attributed to iodine deficiency, are shaped from (A) a diorganopolysiloxane matrix resin; (B) a reinforcing amount of a filler material (B1) therefor and/or an organic peroxide (B2); and (C) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one water soluble, nontoxic, organic and/or inorganic iodine compound which is in solid or liquid state at ambient temperature.
