4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 TARGET SPECIES
Dogs
4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
An antiepileptic agent for use in the control of idiopathic epileptic
seizures, either as a single agent or as an adjunct to
phenobarbital in the control of refractory cases of idiopathic
epilepsy.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use in known cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance,
or to any of the excipients.
Do not use in dogs with severe renal insufficiency.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
The concentration of bromide in serum, the clinical response and the
therapeutic effect of administration of the product may
vary between individuals (see section 4.9). The presence of cluster
seizures/status epilepticus, due to the severity of the seizure
activity, is often associated with poor response to anti-epileptic
treatment. In these cases, remission (seizure freedom) may be
difficult to achieve.
For dogs with normal hepatic function, phenobarbital is generally
considered the first-choice antiepileptic drug. However,
potassium bromide can be recommended as alternative, especially in
dogs with hepatic dysfunction or in dogs with concurrent
disorders requiring life-long administration of potentially
hepatotoxic medications, since potassium bromide is not
metabolised in the liver (see section 5.2).
A high chloride intake can increase the elimination of bromide (see
section 4.8). An increase in the dog's salt intake may
require an adjustment in bromide dose. The salt content of a dog's
diet during the treatment period should be mainta
