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 this RX 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.

hi i have a 3lb. chihuahua how much of this can i give her daily

K-Brovet is a prescription medication that requires an order from your veterinarian. Doses of this medication is tailored for the individual animal based on serum bromide concentration, success of seizure control, and the observation of adverse effects. Please contact your veterinarian to determine an appropriate dose of this medication for your dog. Thank you, VetRxDirect

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

Is this medicine as potent as having my pharmacy compound it ?

K-BroVet is a veterinary prescription medication used in the treatment of seizure disorders. K-BroVet is a commercially available product that contains the chemical, potassium bromide. Whether your veterinarian prescribes K-BroVet chews or solution, or chooses to have potassium bromide compounded, the potency(or dose) prescribed will depend on what the veterinarian recommends. As a result, the only difference between the commercially available and compounded products (medication made in pharmacy) will be the inactive ingredients used to make these dosage forms. VetRxDirect can compound several different formulations of potassium bromide, including solutions and capsules tailoring the dose and dosage form to the pet’s needs.Contact your veterinarian to determine which potassium bromide medication is most appropriate for the management of your pet’s seizure disorder. 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

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!

Comments about K-BroVet (Potassium Bromide)

Since starting this medication one year ago, my Bella has been seizure free for 10 months, and Barney 6 months. It has been a blessing. I feel so helpless when they have episodes, and with my vet putting them on a combination of Phenobarbital and K-BroVet Potassium Bromide, life has been completely changed!!! Love this product!!!

Comments about K-BroVet (Potassium Bromide)

We have been on this particular med for a few years now. Our dog is diagnosed as an idiopathic epileptic, and is unfortunately on phenobarbital and thyroid medication as well. So we are on several different meds. This has always been good for us. One thing to watch for is salt in your dog's food or treats, it can counteract the med and allow seizures to begin again. Every dog has a different threshold, so ask your vet about it to cover all your bases.
Fair Price

Comments about K-BroVet (Potassium Bromide)

Pet medications are such a scam and vets think an owner will pay through the nose for medications to stop their dog from having seizures. Although I consider this still overpriced for the pennies it costs to produce and market the PB, I have not found a better price
Much better price than through my vet
