Iodine is used to form iodine form which is used as an antiseptic. Also, Iodine is used in many household cleaning products. As well as in many thyroid medications in order to treat or control Thyroid disease/disorder (such as hyperthyroidism)

Iodine can also be used to test food for starch. After it has been added it changes the color of the food item to black or brown.
A small amount of sodium iodide salt is added to table salt to make iodized salt.
