==Risks and safety == Bromide can cause drowsiness, depresses the [[central nervous system]], and can cause poisoning if taken in high doses or ''bromism'' (bromide intoxication) if taken very regularly in excessive doses.<ref name="CDC" /> '''Pyridostigmine bromide''', marked under the brand name [[Mestinon]], is a drug approved as safe by the FDA and has been used in clinical trials aimed at reducing [[post-exertional malaise]] in ME/CFS. Pyridostigmine bromide was also used as a pre-treatment for potential chemical exposure in armed forces in the Gulf War, and has been linked to several forms of [[Gulf War Illness]].<ref>{{Cite book | title = Pyridostigmine Bromide | pages = |isbn=|edition= | volume = |language=en| title-link = | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK222848/|access-date= | date = 2000| publisher = National Academies Press (US) | last = Committee on Health Effects Associated with Exposures During the Gulf War | first = | author-link = | last2 = Fulco | first2 = Carolyn E. | author-link2 = | last3 = Liverman | first3 = Catharyn T. | author-link3 = | last4 = Sox | first4 = Harold C. | author-link4 = |veditors=|others=|doi=|oclc=|quote=|archive-url=|archive-date=|location=|editor-last = |editor-first = | editor1-link = |editor-last2 = |editor-first2 = }}</ref>
