Sodium bromide, also known as sedoneural[1] is a salt with the formula Na Br, widely used as an anticonvulsant and a sedative in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its action is due to the bromide ion (potassium bromide is equally effective).[2] It is a high-melting white, crystalline solid that resembles sodium chloride. It is a widely used source of the bromide ion.
