Bromide potassium, bromide salts or bromine have been traditionally used to aid sleep, or in smaller doses for anxiety or calming effects.[1][2][3] More recently, bromides have been used to disinfect swimming pools instead of chlorine, and for industrial purposes.[3]
Risks and safety[edit | edit source]
Bromide can cause drowsiness, depresses the central nervous system, and can cause poisoning if taken in high doses or bromide intoxication if taken very regularly.[3]
