Description
K-BroVet-CA1 is a veterinary prescription medication containing potassium bromide (KBr), formulated to help manage and control seizures in dogs. It is commonly used as a long-term treatment for epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
Key Benefits:
- Seizure Control: Helps reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in dogs with epilepsy or idiopathic seizure disorders.
- Improved Quality of Life: Reduces disruptive seizure episodes, promoting a more stable and comfortable daily life.
- Long-Term Management: Suitable for chronic use to maintain ongoing seizure control.
- Fewer Side Effects: Generally well-tolerated, with fewer adverse effects compared to some other anticonvulsants.
- Complementary Therapy: Can be used alone or alongside other anticonvulsants to enhance treatment effectiveness.
Indications:
K-BroVet-CA1 is indicated for the management of seizures in dogs. It is especially beneficial for dogs with idiopathic epilepsy or when other medications alone are not effective.
How It Works:
Potassium bromide works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. It enhances the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that calms nervous system activity. This reduces the likelihood and severity of seizures.
Due to its long half-life, potassium bromide builds up in the bloodstream and offers consistent seizure control with once- or twice-daily dosing.
Administration & Precautions:
- This medication must be prescribed by a licensed veterinarian.
- Dosage is individualized based on your dog's weight, health condition, and treatment response.
- Regular blood tests may be recommended to monitor potassium bromide levels and adjust dosage as needed.
Important Notes:
- Do not abruptly stop K-BroVet-CA1. Sudden withdrawal can trigger seizures.
- Changes in diet—especially salt intake—can affect blood levels of potassium bromide.
- Side effects may include sedation, increased appetite, or mild GI upset.
Always consult your veterinarian before starting or adjusting seizure medications.

FAQ
K-BroVet is an anticonvulsant used in the treatment of seizures in dogs; however, it is not uncommon for veterinarians to use this medication to treat seizures in cats. K-BroVet may be used alone or in combination with other anticonvulsant medications. K-BroVet may also be used for other conditions not listed.
Tell your veterinarian if your pet is allergic to potassium bromide. Tell your veterinarian if your pet has kidney disease, or if the pet is pregnant or lactating. Inform your veterinarian of any other medications such as diuretics (furosemide, Lasix, Salix), or sedatives your pet may be taking, as well as any vitamins and supplements since interactions may occur. Periodic blood tests are necessary to monitor the level of the drug in the blood.
Give this medication exactly as directed by your veterinarian. K-BroVet may be given with food to reduce some gastric side effects. Leave plenty of water for the pet to drink. If you do not understand the directions ask the pharmacist or veterinarian to explain them to you. Store K-BroVet in a tightly sealed container at room temperature. Keep this medication away from children and pets.
Do not miss a dose. Missing a dose may cause a seizure. Give the missed dose as soon as you remember during the same day. However, if you don't remember until the next day, skip the dose you missed and give only the next regularly scheduled dose. Do not give a double dose of the medication.
Seek emergency veterinary medical treatment. Symptoms of overdose may include extreme sedation, incoordination, loss of appetite, vomiting, constipation, muscle pain or twitching, staggering, inability to use one or more limbs, decreased or slow reflexes, tremors, and other CNS symptoms.
The safe use of this drug in pregnant or lactating animals has not been determined. Use with caution in animals with kidney disease, older animals, and those with other health problems.
If your pet experiences an allergic reaction, signs may include facial swelling, hives, scratching, and sudden onset of diarrhea, vomiting, shock, seizures or coma. If these signs occur, contact your veterinarian immediately. Side effects such as transient drowsiness when used with other anticonvulsant medications may last a few weeks. Change in appetite, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and incoordination may also occur as well as increased thirst and urination. Dogs may also develop skin rashes or behavior changes. Cats may also develop a respiratory condition similar to asthma. Bromide salts have been associated with the development of pancreatitis. Symptoms may include loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and vomiting. When giving high doses, side effects may include severe vomiting, muscle pain, twitching, staggering, inability to use one or more limbs. If any of these symptoms occur, contact the veterinarian.
Before giving K-BroVet, tell your veterinarian if your pet is being given a diuretic (Lasix, Salix, furosemide), a sedative, vitamins or supplements.
