Radioactive iodine (131-I) is a radioactive isotope that is administered orally, in a liquid or capsule form. The majority of radioactive iodine is taken up by your remaining thyroid cells, since the thyroid normally uses iodine to make thyroid hormone. Very small amounts of iodine may also be taken up transiently by cells in your stomach, salivary glands, and ovaries/testicles.
