Anyone who has radio iodine ablation is told to isolate by a certain distance for a few days. They are encouraged to use a bathroom others do not use. After each void they must flush twice.

That is the protocol from nuclear medicine at SUNY Upstate, where we send all our patients.

Hope that helps,
