Medicinal Drugs
Medical Drug is a general term describing the set of drugs used by medical personnel in the treatment of illness
or injury. [1]
Four types of drugs are useful in preventing or treating contagious diseases: vaccines, antitoxins, antibiotics,
and metabolics. They can generally be obtained only from a physician or with a physician’s prescription on
worlds with high law levels, but they are generally available at retail on worlds with low law levels. Since all
are administered by injection, they must be given by a character with some skill in medicine.

Pharmaceutical Synergy
Synergy: If more than one drug is taken, the combination may have an adverse effect, called synergy. In
addition to all other effects of drugs, physiological damage or addiction may occur. The effects of malignant
synergy typically are most taxing on an individual after a peak period of efficacy following drug ingestion. [3]
Pharmaceutical Legality
Legality: The local law level of a world may restrict the use or possession of certain drugs. Some individuals
such as starship crews, medical personnel, or other specifically authorized individuals may have greater access

to pharmaceutical markets. However, laws may differ greatly and it is suggested that individuals always check
the regulatory availability of a specific drug as to its legality and restrictions on any specific world. [4] An
illegal drug is called a narcotic.
