It WORKS!!
i have two epileptic beagles and my vet added potassium bromide in addition to the phenobarbital that they take....and the seizure episodes diminished enormously!!! vetrxdirect is wonderful to work with, they send emails letting me know what's going on, and i love how, if i need to call, i actually get to talk to a real person....in fact, when i called this morning, i talked to the same girl who had sent me the email, and she knew who i was!!!!! LOVE them!!!!! great service!!! plus, they are also the only online pharmacy that carries this drug.....

Delivery Delay
This medication is to decrease the number seizures. I ran out of this medication and have twice obtain small amounts from my vet. It appears that I'll need to order again from my vet as the tracking does not state when the medication will arrive!

works well
From UndisclosedComments about K-BroVet (Potassium Bromide) Oral SolutionHave been using this medication for my dog's seizures for a long time and it works well. No complaints. Recently switched to VetRX after previous pharmacy couldn't fill the prescription. Has been a great experience! -
So much more effective than Phenobarbital!!
From UndisclosedComments about K-BroVet (Potassium Bromide) Oral SolutionMy vet switched my dog from phenobarbital to K-BroVet to help regulate his seizures. He has far fewer break-through seizures and his overall quality of life is much higher. He had been having accidents in the house based on the phenobarbital and had also had to be on Proin based on this. Now he's no longer on the Proin and is no longer having accidents! -
Used them for years and will continue.

Q & A
-
Can I mix the chewable K brovet tablets in my dogs wet food ahead of time(in daily portioned amounts)for kennel boarding purposes ??
-
If your dog’s wet food requires refrigeration after opening, it is recommended to add K-BroVet immediately prior to administration. According to the manufacturer, K-BroVet should be stored at room temperature (68-77 °F). The stability of K-BroVet cannot be guaranteed if stored at cooler temperatures. Please consult your veterinarian with further questions about safely storing and administering this medication.

Does it cause weight gain?
-
The manufacturer’s package label does not list weight gain as a possible side effect. Consult with your veterinarian if you have further questions about this medication causing this in your dog.

Can I apply liquid bromide to the bags of food I prepare for my dog when he is boarded while I am traveling? I prepare homemade food that is refrigerated, so I am assuming this would be okay??
-
Combining liquid bromide to bags of dog food is not recommended for a variety of reasons: One is that the manufacturer states to store the K-BroVet in a sealed container at room temperature (not in the refrigerator). After adding K-BroVet to the food, the chemistry of the K-BroVet (and possibly even the food) will be compromised and will not be stored per manufacturer's recommendation. The second is that there is no way to determine the shelf-life and the potency of the K-BroVet after it has been added to your dog's food.

does the oral solution have to be used within a certain time? my dog only needs .38ml for her weight at this time and i wanna buy the 2 oz bottle. that would last about 5 months i think. is that ok? or will it expire before that??
-
5 months should be fine. We currently do not have a 2oz bottle that I can look for the expiration, but the 10oz bottles we have has an expiration date of 11/2016. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My dog doesn't like the taste of the liquid. Can it be mixed with Greek yogurt and frozen more like a treat??
-
The manufacturer of K-BroVet recommends storing their product at room temperature in a tightly sealed container. Refrigeration or freezing of the liquid solution can cause crystallization of the product, leading to potentially inaccurate dosing. It is therefore not recommended to freeze this product. There is an alternate dosage form of K-BroVet available, a liver flavored chewable tablet, that could be viable option for your situation. VetRxDirect also offers several compounded options of potassium bromide. Please contact your veterinarian to determine what they believe is the best course of therapy for your dog. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My veterinarian wants me to increase my 15 lb dog K BroVet from 250 to 550 for 5 days because he was having seizures everyday, on top of 16.2 mg of phenobarbital to give his brain a boost, could there be a side affect on this boost??
-
Lynie, For seizure treatment the loading dose of K-BroVet is typically between 400 and 600 mg per day. Even though 550 mg is within the loading dose, there may be adverse effects associated the medication. The most common side effect is sedation, lasting up to 3 weeks, in dogs receiving this drug. This adverse effect is commonly seen when used with phenobarbital treatment. Other potential adverse effects reported include weight gain in the first few months of therapy, increase urine frequency, weight loss, vomiting, and constipation. You may feed a low calorie diet to avoid weight gain. Also, acute GI upset may occur if the loading dose is given too rapidly. Please contact your dog's veterinarian if one of these adverse effects is observed while on this medication. In addition to the side effects noted above, we recommend giving doses on a regular basis. Lack of good compliance is a major cause of therapeutic failures with anti-seizure medications. If a dose is missed, give it when remembered; a dose may be doubled the next day, but should be separated by several hours to reduce the chance for an upset stomach. If your dog cannot tolerate an upset stomach (i.e. vomiting) of K-BroVet with daily doses your pet may better tolerate doses divided throughout the day and given with food. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Do you have these in 100 mg ??
-
Fred, PRN, the manufacturer for K-BroVet, does not produce the potassium bromide in any strengths other than those listed on the website - 250mg, 500mg, and the liquid in a concentration of 250mg/mL. We do compound potassium bromide in a variety of other strengths, including 100mg capsules. These can be found doing a search for potassium bromide on our website; there will be compounded suspensions and capsules. Thank you, VetRxDirect
