===Acetylcholine===
Biochemical substance, a neurotransmitter that promotes the propagation of electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another in carbon-based life. Julian Bashir used a medication designed to increase acetylcholine absorption to increase Melora's tensile muscular strength, thus enabling her to walk ("Melora" [DS9]). Increased amounts of acetylcholine in Harry Kim's nervous system caused him (and others in the prison camp) to exhibit erratic behaviour ("The Chute" [VOY]).

===Anesthezine===
===Anesthezine===
A fast-acting anesthetic typically deployed in a gaseous form. It was considered to be one of the best in use by the Federation.
A fast-acting opioid-based anesthetic. It could be deployed as a gas or administered as a liquid through a hypospray. It took approximately 1.4 seconds for individuals to be rendered unconscious by Anesthezine gas. <ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Anesthizine "Anesthezine"], Memory Alpha</ref> The effect usually lasted between 2-12 hours, and affected individuals could experience memory lapses after they woke up. <ref>[https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/Anesthizine "Anesthizine"], Memory Beta</ref> It was considered to be one of the best in use by the Federation. Cases of Anesthezine overdose were usually treated with Naloxone.

===Anti-Borg Serum===
Developed by [[Sheila Bailey]]'s team during the attack on the USS ''Nimitz'', the serum is made on a Noroline base with cytokine.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/owGxAd6VB24/m/h-DuhY3QBgAJ "Troubling Symptoms"], LT [[Sheila Bailey]], SB118 Ops, SD 239608.18</ref> The serum actively attacks the nanites, sedating them and the affected individual, as the serum actively corrodes the Borg technology infecting the individual. An average human male infected with Borg nanites require two normal doses for the medicine to take effect, rendering the individual unconscious and its implants rotting into metal dust.

Water" [DS9]).
===Hydrocortilene===
===Hydrocortilene===
A general analgesic used primarily for headaches and cranial injuries. A dose of 3% is sufficient for a mild headache, whereas increased doses were necessary for more debilitating injuries, such as concussion.

===Naloxone===
Medicine used to treat overdoses caused by opioid-based compounds. It was possible to use it as an airborne agent to render Anesthezine gas ineffective for a time. It had a shorter half-life than Anesthezine, its effects were considered a temporary solution. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/UdLCkDpsX2Y "On the Clock"], Ensign [[Gila Sadar]], {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240006.28</ref>
