Why is dxm sold as dxm hbr and not dxm hcl?

[d1nach]

Is there any reason for this i thought hydrobromide was especially reactive and i dont understand the point. They just decidednto use conc. Hbr instead of hcl. I thought bromine wasnt somethingnu wanna just ingest for no reason

Like anything else, bromine's toxicity is dose dependent. It's such a small amount that it won't raise any concerns over toxicity.

As for why they're not using HCl, my O-chem is rusty. My guess would be it's an economic/engineering reason.
