Pharmaceuticals That Contain Bromine / Bromide: How to Avoid Excessive Bromine and Bromide Exposure Through So-Called Medications

Drugs That Are Poison...

The United States is notorious for its use of bromine / bromide in farming, though the US (and other countries around the world, too, in this case) also uses bromine as a flame retardant in children’s pajamas and in furniture, plastics, and more. Bromine / bromide competes with iodine in the body to fill iodine receptors in the thyroid, reproductive organs, and gallbladder (yes, there are iodine receptors in the gallbladder!), which ultimately can lead to severe dysfunction in these organs. When bromine takes the place of iodine in the body, and in addition, when a person doesn’t get enough iodine in the first place, this can lead to the symptoms of both bromine toxicity as well as iodine deficiency. These symptoms mimic a wide range of health problems, including everything from common, “normal” issues such as menstrual pain or irregularity, chronic headaches, or infertility, to serious diseases such as myasthenia gravis, cancer, Parkinson's disease, asthma, multiple sclerosis, autism, and much, much more. 

Below is a list of some of the pharmaceutical drugs that contain bromine / bromide. Note that, in this discussion, we'll use "bromide" and "bromine" somewhat interchangably. The list below is by no means complete as it is impossible to stay abreast of all the new drugs coming out that may contain bromine / bromide but this article is intended to illustrate the prevalence of bromine in the conventional medical system and encourage consumers to be aware  of this problem. Whenever (if ever) you start using a pharmaceutical, it’s smart to do a quick online search to learn more about it. Look at the chemical formula, and if you see “Br” (bromine) anywhere, steer clear. Note, however, that some pharmaceuticals contain bromine as an "excipient" which means that the drug ingredients will not list it as an ingredient. 

Besides quitting the bromine-containing medication, bromine exposure can be treated through the use of Lugol’s iodine solution (or other formulas containing both potassium iodide and molecular iodine, such as Iodoral). In countries like the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe, regular use of iodine supplements is essential for health since bromine is often found as residue on foods or, in some cases, in bathing and drinking water, on clothing, or on furniture.

Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide - Present in Nearly ALL Cough Medicines (including popular brands like Mucinex and Robitussin)

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is one extremely common preparation of dextromethorphan, an over-the-counter cough medication taken for coughs caused by respiratory infection or transient coughing (such as that caused by allergies, for example). Extremely popular cough syrups or pills for both adults and children, such as those produced by Robitussin, contain dextromethorphan hydrobromide (Dextromethorphan Hbr) as one of their active ingredients. Other brands that contain this drug include Tussal, PediaCare Children’s, Creomulsion, Delsym, Father John’s Cough Medicine, Mucinex DM, and many others (I stopped looking up cough medicines that contain this drug because all of them containing dextromethorphan contained this particular form of it). 

The side effects of dextromethorphan hydrobromide include:

Carbromal

Carbromal (C7H14BrN2O2) was originally developed in the early 1900s and first went by the brand name Adalin. Like many other drugs containing bromine, carbromal is also classed as a sedative and hypnotic. It is sometimes prescribed for the treatment of mild insomnia, though most sources acknowledge that this particular drug carries the additional risk of potential bromine toxicity development. Bromine toxicity can cause symptoms like acne, gastrointestinal discomfort, hyperreflexia (twitching, tremors, spasms, etc.), and more. 

Pamabrom

Pamabrom (C7H7BrN4O2 + C4H11NO) is an over-the-counter diuretic marketed for the treatment of bloating, swelling, water weight gain, menstrual symptoms, and feelings of fullness. In some places, it is also combined with acetaminophen and indicated for back pain and menstrual pain.
