works at the cellular level to prevent seizures by depressing nerve
activity and excitability. Its precise mechanism of action remains unknown.

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.
