Quater potion has never been produced at enterprises; it is prepared in pharmacies only by prescription. It is impossible to store it for a long time, since it is suitable for use only three days.

These same bromides are the reason that the medicine can not be taken for a long time. Otherwise, bromine, which is part of it, can provoke a disease such as chronic bromism. The increased content of bromine leads to disruption of the central and peripheral nervous system. Therefore, you can take Quater medicine for no more than 2 months. The course of treatment can be repeated after 3 months. Particularly cautious should be very elderly people.
