there is company called progeny in bangalore ( pharma corporation of India) makes this generic medicine without any trade names. it comes in 60 tablets bottle. cost around 175 rupees.
Actually KBr is the oldest drug in epilepsy but not used in human beings. It is the drug of choice for dogs for long run. I have an article on this.

actually I had been treating a GSD M 2 yrs old with epilepsy. Its full blood data was normal. I put him on regualr Known therapy of gardenal 45mg bid with Ventriliv, provicalpet.
for sometimes he was finding vey difficult to manage the fits and we increased the dose to 60 mg bid. he was also on homeopathic medicine Verbena Mt, R33 and rescue remedy. Nothing worked still KBr was in . 300mg KBr tablets bid with 30mg gardenal bid. its takes some time ... 3 months atleast to reach steady KBr level. dog has no fits now but he finds difficult walking and lots of itching. Some how it was briught from the euthenesia table with KBr.
