Dosage & Administration Instructions
- Adjust per response: Dosage should be tailored to the individual dog based on serum bromide levels and seizure control.
- Loading period care: During the first five days, a higher loading dose helps reach therapeutic levels more quickly.
- Monitor serum levels: Check bromide concentration after the loading phase, again at 4 months, then every 6–12 months.
- Give with food: Administering with meals helps improve absorption and reduce stomach irritation in sensitive dogs.
- Be consistent: Maintain the same diet and feeding schedule daily, as chloride intake affects bromide levels.
- Avoid sudden withdrawal: Stopping bromide therapy abruptly can trigger seizures; taper only under veterinary supervision.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Veterinary supervision: This medication should only be used under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian familiar with anticonvulsant therapy.
- Avoid in cats: Bromide is not recommended for cats, as it can cause severe respiratory complications in this species.
- Use cautiously in seniors: Older dogs may be more sensitive to side effects and require closer monitoring during therapy.
- Pregnancy safety unknown: The effects of potassium bromide on pregnancy or lactation have not been studied in dogs.
- Maintain diet consistency: Sudden changes in dietary chloride intake can alter serum bromide levels, affecting seizure control.
Possible Side Effects
- Temporary drowsiness: Mild sleepiness or lethargy may appear during early treatment and typically resolves within three weeks.
- Increased thirst and urination: Dogs may drink and urinate more frequently as their bodies adjust to bromide therapy.
- Gastrointestinal upset: Occasional vomiting, nausea, or constipation may occur, especially during the loading phase.
- Behavioral changes: Some dogs may display increased irritability, restlessness, or attention-seeking behavior during treatment.
- Loss of coordination: Unsteady walking or mild tremors can occur if serum bromide levels become too high.
