Mooresville, NC - March 15, 2011 -- Approximately 54,000 potassium iodide tablets have been donated by Nukepills.com to Tokushukai Hospital in Tokyo, Japan for immediate distribution to those affected by Japan’s nuclear reactor crisis.

The radiation-blocking drug, currently in route to Japan, will be distributed by the Tokushukai Medical Aid Team. “We are very pleased that these tablets will be given to people directly affected by the nuclear crisis”, stated Troy Jones, President of Nukepills.com, “The efforts of Dr. Han and the Tokushukai Medical Aid Team are a wonderful example of professionals coming together to ensure the health and livelihood of those most in need.”

Kuwait Ministry of Health stockpiles thyroid-blocking potassium iodide for nuclear radiation emergencies
ThyroShield™ Potassium Iodide Oral Solution is a ready-to-use, thyroid-blocking liquid medicine for radiation emergencies. Stockpiling of potassium iodide is recommended by health officials worldwide to prevent thyroid cancer in those exposed to radioactive iodine in the event of a nuclear reactor accident or fallout from a nuclear weapon. Potassium iodide protects against the harmful effects of radioactive iodine by preventing its absorption by the thyroid gland. Thyroid cells are the only cells in the human body that can absorb iodine, and are thus the only cells at risk for cancer. Thyroshield™ is manufactured by Fleming Pharmaceuticals of Fenton, Missouri.
Nukepills.com introduces Dirty Bomb Emergency Kit for civilian use
Includes the RADTriage Radiation Detector approved by the Department of Homeland Security
The Dirty Bomb Emergency Kit is used to instantly detect radiation and safely, quickly and significantly decontaminate people and surfaces of radioactive material most likely found in a dirty bomb using the supplied Quick-Decon resin-based decontamination solutions. The included military-grade RADTriage Personal Radiation Detectors instantly detect radiation exposure in the event of a dirty bomb, nuclear reactor accident, nuclear weapon fallout and other sources of radiation. In a February 2007 report issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the RADTriage was found to demonstrate “acceptable performance for homeland security mission needs. If routinely carried by emergency responders, it could provide early indication of a significant radiation component after a terrorist event”.
Face masks fly off shelves in preparation for flu season
Online merchant, Nukepills.com, boosts inventory to keep up with demand
“We had run out of stock of N95 Swine Flu Face Masks back in May. We were surprised by the rush of orders that literally happened overnight.”, said Troy Jones, president of Nukepills.com. “We have just now received a huge shipment of fresh N95 face masks to cover our wholesale and retail business for the remainder of the flu season. Aside from frequent hand washing, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] is recommending the use of certain types of face masks if you are in close contact with someone who has, or may have, the swine flu. We only stock N95 masks that are both NIOSH and FDA approved. Anything less would not give our customers the protection they demand.” N95 face masks available from Nukepills.com are individually sealed to maintain freshness and integrity of the product and fold flat for easy storage and portability. They are also approved by the FDA for use as surgical masks.
