- Description
- This test is used to monitor bromide therapy. Therapeutic serum bromide concentrations should be measured at three weeks after initiating therapy, but steady-state concentrations may fluctuate among dogs due to differences in drug clearance and bioavailability.
Interferences: gel may interfere with test. Do not use a serum separator tube for sample draw or submission.
