Liquid
I was given a liquid cocktail to drink when I had my Radio-Iodine treatment in the hospital. The other tests I had they gave me a pill. I think they use different forms for different test and procedures.0 -

There is no difference. Many places give it differently. Possibly because of her age they decided on the liquid. I believe it is the same radioactive iodine!
from what i have been told the difrence from the liquid to the pill is negligable
depending on lots of factors one or the other may be given
personaly when i get my radiation i hope its in liquid form cause i hate pills0 -

They said that they prefer capsules whenever possible because it takes 30 minutes for it to become active and you can avoid exposing your driver. Children get the lliquid because they are afraid that they can't take the capsule only by swallowning0 -

i got liquid myself and i asked the doctor about it
the answer i got is there IS NO difference
the pills just hold the liquid vs giving the liquid straight
depending on alot of things depend on how they decide to give it to you.
on larger doses they tend to want to use pills if you have a habit of throwing up its easyer on your system. but the liquid is easyer for them0
