Libromide Tablets for Dogs contain Potassium Bromide and are used as an anti-epileptic agent for use as an adjunct to phenobarbital in the control of refractory cases of epilepsy in dogs. Contraindications: Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to bromide, or to any of the excipients. Do not use in dogs with severe renal insufficiency. Special precautions for use in animals: Do not abruptly discontinue therapy as this may precipitate seizures. In renal insufficiency, excretion of bromide is reduced. To prevent bromide accumulation, and a relative overdose of potassium bromide (see Overdose) administer a reduced dose of Libromide and monitor the serum bromide concentration closely. A reduction in chloride intake could cause bromide intoxication (see Interactions). Administration on an empty stomach may induce vomiting. Dogs weighing less than 11 kg cannot be accurately dosed with the recommended initial dose rate of 15 mg/kg twice daily as the minimum dose achievable by division of the Libromide 325 mg tablet is 162.5 mg, see Amounts to be administered and administration route. Potentially severe side effects can be associated with the use of potassium bromide in cats. For more information, please use the following link: http://www.noahcompendium.co.uk/?id=-449911
