Potassium Bromide

Potassium bromide is a halide salt most commonly used as an add-on anticonvulsant drug to phenobarbital.

It also may permit you to decrease the dose level of the phenobarbital. Potassium bromide may also be used initially as the sole anticonvulsant drug.

Potassium bromide is a known mucosal irritant and capsules or tablets may result in gastric irritation due to the direct contact of a concentrated amount of the drug with the gastric lining.
