[quote:Anonymous Coward 1302144:MV8xNDAxNzIzXzIzMDg1ODY0X0FGNUU2RTky] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1276620] I bought some about fifteen years ago. $50 for a small bottle. I still have them even though they have expired by ten years. I would still use them if need be. Op, kelp and other types of sea weed are suppose to be very effective against radiation. [/quote] Yeah, I bought 4 bottles in 2005 that are very likely expired by now. I've kept two of them in each of two bug-out bags that I have; one in the car, one in the house. The ones in the car have been exposed to freezing cold and extreme heat from the weather. Anyone have a guess what that might do to potassium iodide pills? [/quote]

So my sister is in BC, and as you know there is no supply there at all, so I decided to look around for her (I'm in the GTA) I called 3 major chain pharmacies and two of them told me the same thing. (Shoppers drug mart btw)
The pharmacist at a Mississauga location told me they don't usually stock it but have been getting calls and so she called her supplier to request some and was told it is "not available" her supplier told her Health Canada had put a stay on supplies.
Another location not far from that one told me that it is not available at all and that a new pill will be avail in April (I'm on the phone thinking WTF April?? lol)
So I cannot document this for you unless you call them yourself or something but really really strange.
One location had a few bottles of topical Iodine so I bought those and will send them to my sister as I don't think we are going to need them here in Toronto.
Has anyone else here in the GTA been told similar things? if Canada is stockpiling it is it for us? or do you think they would be sending supplies to Japan?
