Hydrobromide
In chemistry, a hydrobromide is an acid salt resulting, or regarded as resulting, from the reaction of hydrobromic acid with an organic base (e.g. an amine).[1][2] The compounds are similar to hydrochlorides.
Some drugs are formulated as hydrobromides, e.g. dextromethorphan hydrobromide.[3]
