Medical knowledge has increased immensely since the 20th century, and continues to expand as research is carried out. This database contains notes on some of the more common medicines at the disposal of a 24th century Starfleet medic.
Acinolyathin
A painkiller Bashir gave O'Brien for his muscle spasms.
Adanine
One of the nucleotides included in the marking sequence that made up the cure to the Founders' disease.
Adrenaline
Treatment against Radiation
ADTH
Stimulant that can be pumped through life support systems. Shipwide resuscitation
Alzine
Counters Allergic reactions.
Ambrazine
Sedative.
Anabolic Supplements
Helps resist harvester nanobiogenic weapons.
Anaerobic Metabolite
A medical substance. For his "cellular entertainment" chamber, Dr. Giger wanted two liters (later said to be five liters) of this, suspended in a hydrosaline solution. Jake and Nog obtained it from Bashir, in exchange for their retrieving Kukalaka from Leeta.
Analeptic
Used as a restorative
Anesthezine
This 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
Used to prevent inebriety.
Asinolyathin
Analgesic.
Asporadine
One of the nucleotides included in the marking sequence that made up the cure to the Founders' disease.
Benjisidrine
An anti-arrhythmic used to regulate some heart conditions.
Benzocyatizine
Used to adjust the level of Isoboramine in Trills.
Biomemetic Gel
A medical substance, the sale of which is prohibited by Federation law. Even attempting to obtain it is a felony (presumably unless one is a doctor). This is because in the wrong hands, it can be used to make biogenic weapons, to conduct illegal replication experiments, or to develop organic explosives. Altovar attacked Bashir when the doctor caught him stealing it, after having refused to give or sell Altovar some. [Distant Voices] Sisko ordered Bashir to release 85 liters of it, which Bashir did under protest after demanding to see the order in writing. The gel was traded to a source of Garak's in exchange for an optolythic data rod.
Bolamite
Treatment for Omega radiation exposure.
Borathium
An experimental rybotherapy medication used to replace Leporazine and Morathial.
Cateline
Simulates anaphylactic shock.
Cervaline
Anti-rejection drug.
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.
Cordaline
A drug Bashir called for when trying to revive Quark.
Corophizine
A general purpose antibiotic. It has minimal side effects and is non-addictive.
Cortical Analeptic
Reinvigorates the tissues 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.
Cryptobiolin
Used to improve the skills of soldiers.
Cyalodin
Poison.
Delactovine
A common stimulant with few side effects. It is mildly addictive.
Deoxyribose suspensions
Fluid derived from DNA.
Dermaline
Gel Used in the treatment of burns
Dermal Osmotic Sealant
Medicinal skin application used as a protection against epidermal irritation such as that caused by exposure to trigemic vapors
Dermatiraeliene Plasticine
Used to maintain the effects of cosmetic surgery
Desegranine
Used to reverse memory loss
Deuridium
Used by the Kobliad to stabilize cellular structure
Dexalin
This is used to treat oxygen deprivation.
Dylamadon
This is a powerful neuroinhibitor used for painless euthanasia.
Elasian Tears
Love potion.
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.
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 overconfidence 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.
