What medicine to have in case of nuclear bomb attack?
There is no medicine that can protect you from nuclear weapons in any way, all of the direct effects can be fatal and the damage is not reversible. However one indirect delayed effect can be prevented: if you are far enough away at the time of the attack so that none of the direct effects have caused you injury, iodine-131 in the fallout is easily ingested and will be concentrated in the thyroid gland and its radiation will kill the thyroid. So keeping potassium iodide tablets and taking enough of them after the attack but before fallout arrives to "overdose" the thyroid on iodine will prevent it from taking up any of the iodine-131 from the fallout.But this only protects the thyroid, fallout can also hurt you in many other ways that no medication can treat. Including radiation poisoning, skin burns that do not heal and become bleeding ulcers, etc.
