Vetina’s KBR Suspension

Description:

Bromides are used both as primary therapy and as adjunctive therapy to control seizures in dogs that are not adequately controlled by phenobarbital alone .

While historically bromides were only recommended for use alone in patients suffering from phenobarbital hepatotoxicity, bromides are more frequently used as a drug of first choice.

Indications:

• Seizures,
• Anxiety 

Composition:

Each ml contains:

• Potassium bromide I.P.………250 mg
• Cyanocobalamin I.P.…………….5 mcg
• Pyridoxine Hydrochloride I.P.…..5 mg
• Suspension base…………………q.s.
• Flavour: Butterscotch, vanilla.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:

Bromide’s anti-seizure activity is thought to be the result of its generalized depressant effects on neuronal excitability and activity. Bromide ions compete with chloride transport across cell membranes resulting in membrane hyperpolarization, thereby raising seizure threshold and limiting the spread of epileptic discharges

VETINA KBR TM should not be used in animals with a history of hypersensitivity to Bromide or any of the components of the solution or tablet.

ADVERSE REACTIONS:

Dog may experience drowsiness when taking bromide, but this will generally go away after approximately 3 weeks. Increased hunger, thirst, urination, vomiting, constipation, anorexia, and uncoordinated movements may occur with bromide. During the load in dose increased nausea may be experienced.
