Neutralizes the effects of alcohol in the blood stream, by reacting it into water molecules. However, it does not stop immediate drunkness caused by the already metabolized alcohol. It will therefore still take a while for the person to sober up.

Overdoses at 30 units causing rapid toxin damage.

[large][b]Hyperzine[/b][/large]
A potent long lasting muscle stimulant. Increases heart rate dramatically, which can cause twitching and heart damage. Highly addictive, controlled substance.

Overdoses at 6 units causing rapid heart damage. Recommended dosage of 5 units or lower.

A drug used to treat hypothermia and hyperthermia. Stabilizes patient temperture. Prevents the use of cryogenics.

Will cause unconciousness if administered a dose of 30 units or higher.

[large][b]Lipozine[/b][/large]
Lower satiation and reduces body weight by increase the rate of which fat is metabolized. Use to treat obesity. Large doses can cause extreme weight loss.

[large][b]Methylphenidate[/b][/large]
A commonly prescribed psychostimulant that increaases activity of the central nervous system. Often used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.

This drug improves performance primarily in the executive function in the prefrontal cortex (reasoning, inhibiting behaviors, organizing, problem solveing, planning ect.)

Overdoses at 20 units causing toxin damage and hallucinations.

[large][b]Paracetamol[/b][/large]
A mild painkiller that's metabolized very slowly, so it lasts much longer than other painkillers.
