This is a list of fictional medicines and drugs from published works of fiction (novels, TV series, etc.) | Name | Source | Uses & effects | | Accela | Serial Experiments Lain | Not a chemical drug, but rather a nanomachine delivered in pill form. It increases the processing speed of the brain, making its user feel that time has slowed down. Not to be confused with the railroad train Acela Express. | | Aklo | Alan Moore's 'The Courtyard' | Not an actual drug, it is a series of three words: "Wza-Y'Ei", "Dho-Hna", "Yr Nhhngr", which if heard after a hit of DMT-7, will cause the user to have severe halucinations, and subsequntly have a new vocabulary and an ability to see the world for what it truly is. | | Alkadexabenzathera-podazalamide | movie How to Murder Your Wife | Also known in the movie as "goof balls" which, when taken in combination with alcohol produce an effect of "Ziiiiiip, Flop." | | Alosun | Nedor Comics publications, Tom Strong series | Developed by Dr. Tom Strange, Alosun is a distillate of sun atoms. Ingesting Alosun gives the person superhuman strength, the ability to fly, and invulnerability. | | Altruizine | Stanislaw Lem's "Altruizine | A drug which causes the user to feel emotions, pain sensations, etc. of other people in proximity. Invented to promote altruism. | | Ambrosia | Deus Ex | Ambrosia is a temporary "cure" for the disease 'the Grey Death'. It is really a large number of microscopic pods in a liquid suspension. The pods attach to the nanobots for a while and disable them, temporarily shutting down the nanobot-induced (and eventually-fatal) autoimmune response. | | Anti-Gerasone | Kurt Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkey House | A liquid which halts the aging process. A more recent development, super-anti-gerasone, is purported to produce actual rejuvenation. | | Bacta | Star Wars | It mimics the body's fluids and helps in regeneration. It is used to help with cuts and burns as well as severe cellular damage, such as frostbite. | | Betaphenethylamine | Neuromancer | Stimulant and hallucinogen, usually administered in the form of dermal patches. | | Blinkmoth Serum | Magic: the Gathering | Blinkmoth serum is created by killing and harvesting blinkmoths. It grants the user extreme intelligence, self-awareness, and understanding. It is extremely addictive. | | Bliss | Nova by Samuel R. Delany | Gold powder found on rocks on some planets at the galactic rim. Effects appear to be heightened concentration and loss of critical judgement. | | Bliss (2) | Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers by Grant Naylor | A brown powder, which people can become addicted to simply by looking at it. Makes the user believe (s)he is an omnipotent deity, while at the same time rendering them incabable of as much as tying their shoes. | | Bliss (3) | The Wizard of Sunset Strip by Simon Hawke | Thaumaturgically brewed drug. Not physiologically addicting, but the state of peace and serenity it induces is strongly habit-forming, and larger and larger doses of the drug are required to cop the same buzz. Used by at least one necromancer to keep his victims in thrall. | | Bloodhype | Alan Dean Foster's Humanx Commonwealth | Also known by such street names as "jaster" and "silly salt." Instantly addictive drug derived from a tree only known to grow on a single planet. Affects entire nervous system, causing intense pleasure. Withdrawal is excruciatingly painful, and usually fatal; treatment requires total life support. It is said that an addict will gladly sell everything he or she owns, along with all body parts beyond the minimum needed to inject the drug, for his or her next dose. There is no known way to synthesize it, and the tree from which it is derived was thought to have been deliberately driven to extinction, but drug has reappeared. A large dose was used to defeat the malevolent entity known as the Vom. | | Boosterspice | Known Space | Anti-aging drug | | Buffout | Fallout | Strength enhancer | | Cake | Brass Eye | "Remember, Cake is a 'made up' drug!" | | Cardamine | Freelancer | A natural product of the ecosystem on the planet Malta, it is found in trace amounts in nearly everything on the planet, including the atmosphere and water. A very addictive narcotic, ending use of the drug will usually result in death. Exposure over generations is known to cause extreme longevity as well as an increased risk of miscarriage in pregnancies. The drug is trafficed by the criminal faction known as the Outcasts (formed by the original settlers of Malta), and outlawed by all the major Houses. The best available selling price is on the planet Manhattan, although this run is risky for players as Manhattan is located in the centre of House space and there is a significant risk of being discovered on the route. | | Comatonin | Futurama | Fast acting tranquilizer | | Condamine | SF of Cordwainer Smith | Powerful narcotic; it also exists in an enhanced form, super-condamine, lethal except to those infected by the dromozoa of the punishment world Shayol. | | Cordrazine | Star Trek: The Next Generation | Powerful stimulant used to revive patients in an emergency, such as cardiac arrest. 25 mL is usually a lethal dose to humanoids, causing hallucinations, madness and death. | | Dimoxinil | The Simpsons | Hair regrowth drug. Requires daily application or regrown hair is lost. The name is an anagram of minoxidil, a compound which is actually used for treatment of male pattern baldness. | | DMT-7 | Alan Moore's 'The Courtyard' | A weak hallucinogen, which in its natural form is produced in the human brain. Trip lasts about 10-15 minutes. Usually taken before a hit of Aklo. | | Drencrom | A Clockwork Orange | Ingredient in milk-plus, sold in the Korova Milkbar. Likely a reference to adrenochrome. | | Dried Frog Pills | Discworld | A hallucinogen, used by the Bursar of Unseen University. The pills are carefully designed to make him hallucinate that he is sane. The main side-effect is that he also hallucinates an ability to fly. Fortunately the Bursar is a wizard and the only action necessary to deal with this belief is to keep him from going higher than the walls. | | Dust | Babylon 5 | A highly illegal drug that induces telepathy. Users commit "telepathic rape", also illegal, by forcibly (and painfully) scanning the minds of other people. Can induce telepathy even in some species that have no natural telepaths, such as Narns. | | Dylar | White Noise | Psychoactive drug supposed to remove the fear of death | | Dyne | City of Heroes | An addictive narcotic that is peddled by more than one street gang. A stronger version, Superadyne, will provide pain immunity and induce the user with violent tendencies. Overuse of Superadyne will degenerate a user into a Troll, which makes them brainless but gives them superhuman powers. | | Ephemerol | Scanners | Tranquilizer, used as a morning sickness remedy; a mutagen, it induces telekinetic and telepathic abilities. Ephemerol also suppresses those abilities in adults so affected. | | Ethical Birth Control Pills | Kurt Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkey House | Drug which totally inhibits the ability to experience sexual pleasure. Originally devised as a means of suppressing the tendency for monkeys to masturbate in public view, it was used, in combination with assisted ("ethical") suicide, to control massive overpopulation. | | Excelsior | City of Heroes | A powerful narcotic that raises the normal physical attributes of a human, including an incredibly high pain tolerance. The street gang known as the Freakshow take advantage of the pain tolerance to replace their limbs with cybernetic implants. | | The Fear | Red Star, Winter Orbit (http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cyberpunk/burning_chrome.shtml) by Bruce Sterling and William Gibson | Causes fear and paranoia. | | Felicium | Star Trek:TNG, Symbiosis | Narcotic traded by the Brekkians as a fake plague cure to exploit the Ornarans by keeping them unknowingly in perpetual addiction. | | Focusin | The Simpsons | A Ritalin-like drug | | Flash | Andromeda (TV series) | A highly addictive drug designed for better slipstream navigation. | | Formula 51 | Formula 51 aka The 51st State | powerful narcotic, stimulant and hallucinogen. | | Gleemonex | Brain Candy | Anti-depressant | | Happy Plant | Dinosaurs (television) | Euphoria | | Haza | Supernova | | Honk, Double Honk | Discworld | 'Recreational' (for trolls). | | Hum | Hunter: The Reckoning | A deadly poison spread via a water supply. | | Hyper | Shadowrun (Shadowtech sourcebook) | Direct neural stimulator which acts on the nerves connected to the temporal and occipital lobes of the brain.

Later determined to be an aerosol compound for distributing an ancient primordial organism known only as Sublime. | | Kickapoo Joy Juice | Li'l Abner | A patent medicine sold by the proverbial medicine show charlatans. Undoubtedly derived from actual Kickapoo Indian Medicine Company of Connecticut (totally unrelated to Kickapoo Indians of Oklahoma), which produced and sold patent medicine consisting largely of alcohol. | | Kolto | Star Wars | Mined from the bottom of the great ocean that covers the planet Manaan, it was known for its strong healing properties. Kolto was eventually superceded by bacta. | | KR-3 | Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said | An experimental compound which disrupts the brain's ability to distinguish alternate realities.

Plays a minor role in the plot of the game Ultima VII. | | Slab | Discworld | 'Recreational' (for trolls). Technically not a fictional drug, so much as one that has no intoxicating effect on humans as Discworld trolls are silicon based lifeforms. Slab is described as being a mixture of chloric ammonium and radium. | | Slappers | Batman Beyond | A steroid, absorbed through the skin.
