Potassium iodide is contraindicated in all of the following conditions, EXCEPT:

A
Dermatitis herpetiformis
B
Iodine hypersensitivity
C
Hypocomplementemic vasculitis
D
Pregnant women
High-Yield Explanation
Persons with dermatitis herpetiformis and hypocomplementemic vasculitis are at increased risk for sensitivity from Potassium Iodide. It is a contraindication in both the conditions. Known iodine allergy is a contraindication. Caution: Iodine may be used in pregnant women, infants, and children, but safety has not been clearly established. Hence, not a contraindication.
