  2. Bromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromide

    Bromide salts are used in hot tubs as mild germicidal agents to generate in situ hypobromite. The bromide ion is antiepileptic and as bromide salt, is used in veterinary medicine in the US. The kidneys excrete bromide ions. The half-life of bromide in the human body (12 days) is long compared with many pharmaceuticals, making dosing challenging ...

  3. Potassium bromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_bromide

    Potassium bromide (K Br) is a salt, widely used as an anticonvulsant and a sedative in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with over-the-counter use extending to 1975 in the US. Its action is due to the bromide ion (sodium bromide is equally effective). Potassium bromide is used as a veterinary drug, in antiepileptic medication for dogs.

  4. Bromism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromism

    Bromism is the syndrome which results from the long-term consumption of bromine, usually through bromine-based sedatives such as potassium bromide and lithium bromide. Bromism was once a very common disorder, being responsible for 5 to 10% of psychiatric hospital admissions, but is now uncommon since bromide was withdrawn from clinical use in ...

    Chemically, ipratropium bromide is a quaternary ammonium compound (which is indicated by the -ium per the BAN and the USAN) [25] obtained by treating atropine with isopropyl bromide, thus the name: isopropyl + atropine. [citation needed] It is chemically related to components of the plant Datura stramonium, which was used in ancient India for ...

  7. Bromine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine

    In pharmacology, inorganic bromide compounds, especially potassium bromide, were frequently used as general sedatives in the 19th and early 20th century. Bromides in the form of simple salts are still used as anticonvulsants in both veterinary and human medicine, although the latter use varies from country to country.

  8. Ethidium bromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethidium_bromide

    Ethidium bromide (or homidium bromide, [2] chloride salt homidium chloride) [3] [4] is an intercalating agent commonly used as a fluorescent tag (nucleic acid stain) in molecular biology laboratories for techniques such as agarose gel electrophoresis. It is commonly abbreviated as EtBr, which is also an abbreviation for bromoethane.
