CAUTION: Not for use in animals with a hypersensitivity to bromide or other components of this medication. Seek emergency veterinary treatment of an allergic reaction.

The safety of this medication in pregnant, lactating, breeding, and young dogs has not been shown.

Use with caution in older animals. They are more susceptible to adverse reactions.

Tell your veterinarian about any adverse reactions you observe in your pet.

This medication may cause drowsiness, but the effect typically goes away within 3 weeks of administration.

Side effects may include changes in appetite, increased thirst, increased urinary output, constipation, vomiting, and loss of coordination. Nausea may be experienced following the initial load-in dose.

Pacing, increased attention seeking, irritability, aggression, and other personality changes may result from bromide therapy.

Treatment with bromide, when administered concurrently with Phenobarbital, increases the risk of pancreatitis.

A number of drugs and supplements, including vitamin supplements, can interact with K-BroVet. Make sure your veterinarian is aware of everything your dog takes. Consult your veterinarian before giving your pet any other medications or supplements during treatment.

Contact your veterinarian immediately in the event of an overdose. Short-term bromide toxicity is reversible, but even mild prolonged toxicity can progress to more serious nervous system dysfunction. The concurrent use of Phenobarbital lowers the dose necessary for toxicity. Excessive salivation, skin lesions, diarrhea, ataxia, hematochezia, shivering, and stupor progressing to coma or death are clinical signs of toxicity.
