The variety of medicines available in the Trek universe is staggering. Just consult recent "Physician's Desk Reference" volumes, and extrapolate a few hundred years, mixing in the contributions of several dozen alien civilizations, and the list is truly astronomical. Medicines available will probably range from traditional chemicals to substances that stimulate natural functions to tailored bacteria and viruses to nanotechnology. The following is a small sampling of the kinds of medications that are available to the Chief Medical Officer. Unless otherwise noted, medicines are generally effective for about 24 hours per dose.
Analeptic
Pharmaceutical used as a restorative
AnesthezineThis is an inhalant that can be used as a general anesthetic, but is more often used by Security as an intruder control measure.
Anti-intoxicant
Medicine taken to allow one to drink alcoholic beverages without becoming inebriated
Asinolyathin
Pharmaceutical used for pain relief
BenjisidrineAn anti-arrhythmic used to regulate some heart conditions.
Benzocyatizine
Medication used to adjust the levels of isoboramine in a joined Trill A benzocyatic regimen generally involve frequent doses of benzocyatizine
Borathium
An experimental rybotherapy medication developed as a potential replacement for Leporazine and Morathial
Chloromydride
A cardio-stimulatory drug used where Inaprovaline is ineffective or may cause allergic reactions. It is usually used in concert with cardial and neural stimulators for additional benefits.
Cordrazine
A powerful stimulant that will usually revive a stunned or unconscious patient completely. Cordrazine is "tricky stuff" - overdose can lead to delusional paranoia, and the drug is addictive.
Corophizine
A general purpose antibiotic. It has minimal side effects and is non-addictive.
Cortical Analeptic
Pharmaceutical used to reinvigorate the tissue of the cerebral cortex
Cortolin
Resuscitative drug.
Crediline
This drug makes the user more likely to believe anything that they are told. Its use has been superseded by more effective memory blockers.
Delactovine
A common stimulant with few side effects. It is mildly addictive.
Dermaline Gel
Medical material used in the treatment of burns
Desegranine
Cardassian drug used to reverse memory loss
Dexalin
This is used to treat oxygen deprivation.
Dylamadon
This is a powerful neuroinhibitor used for painless euthanasia.
Formazine
A common stimulant that can cause irritability with prolonged use (more than three days). Otherwise, it has the same effects as Delactovine.
Genericillin
A powerful general purpose antibiotic.
Hypercoagulin
Stops bleeding very quickly. This is unnecessary when using Anabolic Protoplasers, although a version of this drug for localized use on wounds in the field may
exist.
Hyronalyn
This medication protects against radiation sickness. One dose halves the effective amount of radiation received, and a second dose further halves that, and so on. Each dosage beyond the first risks Hyronalyn poisoning, which could lead to permanent damage.
Inaprovaline
A cardio-stimulatory drug that can also be used to stabilize a weak but living patient's condition.
Kayolane
This drug causes immediate unconsciousness and the patient will remain asleep for 1-6 hours.
Leporazine
A general resuscitative.
Lexorin
A neurotransmitter inhibitor. This drug temporarily diminishes intelegence, but each dose also makes psychic and psionic intrusions harder. Lexorin can also calm excited or agitated patients. In greater dosages than 3 in 24 hours, the patient also begins to lose manual dexterity, as the Central Nervous System begins to lose
control of voluntary functions. Lexorin is mildly addictive, and causes the patient to feel overconfident and happy.
Melorazine
This drug causes immediate unconsciousness. The patient will remain asleep for 3-8 hours.
Memory Blockers
These are used to permanently block specific memories in a patient. This is useful if a patient has seen something unpleasant, or has been exposed to information that may violate the Prime Directive.
Memory-Beta
This drug stimulates the users memory. It allows the user to attempt to remember something that has been forgotten.
Metrazine
Cardiac anti-arrhythmic. See Benjisidrine for guidelines.
Morathial
A general resuscitative.
Morphazine
Puts patients into deep, dreamless sleep for 3-18 hours.
Mylar II
With reconstructive surgery it is possible to conceal a person's true race. However reconstructive surgery on an entire platoon or company is not always an option time or facilities wise. The drug, Mylar II, causes the top layers of skin and flesh to become more pliable. Thus with Mylar II injections a human could easily appear to be a Romulan or Vulcan. There is a limit to what these injections can do. A Mylar II Cardassian would take a few hours, be quite painful and require the use of some prostectics. None of these disguises will fool a medical tricorder or a very detailed inspection. These disguises may also require some form of makeup to be complete. Exclusively for SFMC Recon
Neurovine
This drug is an antidote for nerve poison.
Purge
This drug cleanses the user's systems of foreign biochemicals, and neutralizes active drugs (including recreational drugs and alcohol) within minutes.
Rage
This drug gives the user double strength and and berserker rage for 10-60 minutes. This drug is considered unethical by Federation standards.
Rexlin
This drug can be used as a tranquilizer, a pain killer and a sedative. All is depending on the dose administered.
Shaker
This is an experimental neurotransmitter enhancer which increases the patients health, strength and dextarity every 15 seconds, but decreases intellegence by a similar amount. Users also temporarily gain the over confidence and a high pain threshold. This drug is considered unethical by the Federation.
Stokaline
A mild stimulant that will revive an unconscious or stunned patient. It has no major side effects and is non-addictive. However, patients quickly develop a tolerance to it. Each time Stokaline is not effective, all future uses on that patient will be less. This effect is permanent and cumulative.
Suspend
Slows down all biological functions. This is similar to the Stasis Field. In sickbays, a Stasis Field is used.
Tricordrazine
A refined version of Cordrazine that lacks the delusional paranoia side effects, but will not revive as well. It is still addictive.
Tri-Ox Compound
This drug helps to provide oxygen to blood in thin atmospheres, or in cases of oxygen starvation.
Tryptophan-Lysine distillates
These are more powerful antibiotics. They add to the effective health of the patient, but at the cost of a slightly Fatigued state that lasts until the treatments end.
Vertrazine
Combats vertigo. Only one dose will have effect in a 24 hour period. It has no side effects.
