How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Potassium Bromide Oral Syrup (Vet) is a specialized medication designed to manage and treat seizures in dogs. This medication functions by reducing the activity of nerve cells in the brain, which in turn decreases the frequency and severity of seizures. The recommended dosage is typically 1-2 mg/kg of the dog's body weight, administered orally twice a day. However, it's crucial to understand that this dosage may require adjustments based on the individual response of the patient.

While Potassium Bromide Oral Syrup (Vet) is generally well-tolerated, it's essential to monitor the patient closely for potential side effects. These may include vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. If any of these symptoms occur, it's advised to contact your veterinarian immediately. It's also important to note that this medication is not suitable for use in cats or other animals.

The medication is available in a 100 mg/ml concentration, providing a concentrated liquid formulation that contains active ingredients and sweeteners. This makes it a palatable and easy-to-administer dosage form, particularly beneficial for dogs that may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. To ensure the medication is evenly distributed, it's important to shake the bottle well before each use. The syrup can be administered directly into the dog's mouth or mixed with a small amount of food, as per your veterinarian's instructions.

It's crucial to adhere to your veterinarian's instructions when administering this medication and to monitor the patient closely for any side effects. If you have any queries or concerns about this medication, it's recommended to consult with your veterinarian or a trusted veterinary healthcare professional.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
