Potassium bromide is a white crystalline powder with a saline taste. It is soluble in water and alcohol, but insoluble in ether. Potassium bromide has been used as an anticonvulsant and sedative to control seizures, muscle spasms, and mania. It has also been used as a research chemical, reaction component, or reagent in the synthesis of other compounds.

Potassium bromide is widely used as an anticonvulsant and a sedative. Also used in the preparation of stable Pd nanocubes that si used in immunolabeling. Potassium bromide is used for the purification of Sarcocystis neurona sporocysts by discontinuous density gradient centrifugation. May be used for removal of peripheral membrane proteins.
