PHARMOCOLOGY OF THE EMPIRE

This is a partial listing of certain of the most common pharmaceutical agents used within the Romulan Empire. You will note that many of these same agents are used also in the Federation and the Klingon Empire.* Pharmaceutical agents are listed according to type of drug.

In spite of the enemity between their governments, physicians of all speicies tend to share (legally or otherwise) medical information (including new drugs and medical procedures) when they believe the information can be benefical in treating their patients.

Analgesics

Asinolyathin: Pharmaceutical used for pain relief .

Terakine: Analgesic medication .

Anesthetics

Anesthezine: an inhalant that can be used as a general anesthetic, but is more often used by Security as an intruder control measure.

Anti-arrhythmics:

Benjisidrine: An anti-arrhythmic used to regulate some heart conditions

Metrazine: Cardiac anti-arrhythmic. Same guidelines as Benjisidrine.

Antibiotics

Corophizine: A generally safe and effective broad spectrum antibiotic. Corophizine has minimal side effects and is non- addictive.

Genericillin: A powerful broad spectrum antibiotic that is safe for use with most Romulanoid species.

Antiarrhythmics

Metrazene: Cardiac antiarrhythmic medication.

Coagulant Therapy

Hypercoagulin: This drug is mainly for localized treatment of minor wounds in the field. Hypercoadgulin stops bleeding very quickly. It is generally unnecessary to use this type of drug when using Anabolic Protoplasers.

Cardiostimulatory Agents

Chloromydride: A second-line cardio-stimulatory drug used where naprovaline is ineffective or may cause allergic reactions. This drug gives the user double his/her normal strength and berserker rage for 10-60 minutes.

Inaprovaline: First line cardiostimulatory agent. This cardio-stimulatory drug can also be used to stabilize a weak but living patient's condition.

Polyadrenaline: Synthetic pharmaceutical based on the humanoid hormone epinephrine.

Euthanasia Agents

Dylamadon: a powerful neuroinhibitor used for painless euthanasia for humanoid species.

Immunosuppressants

An Immunosuppressant may be defined as any of several drugs designed to limit immune response in humanoids.

Memory Loss Reversal

Desegranine: Cardassian developed drug used to reverse memory loss Narcotics Felicium: A narcotic substance derived from plants native to the planet Brekka.

Neurotransmitters

Acetycholine: a neurotransmitter that promotes the propagation of electrical impulses from one cell to another in carbon-based life forms.

Psilosynine: a type of neurotransmitter chemical used for telepathy by the brains of telepathic species (including Betazoids, Romulans, and Vulcans).

Serotonin: Biochemical substance that serves as a central neurotransmitter in Romulanoid nervous systems.

Neurotransmitter Inhibitors

Lexorin: This drug temporarily diminishes intelligence, but each dose also makes psychic and psionic intrusions harder. Lexorin can also calm excited or agitated patients. In dosages greater than 3 per each 24 hour period, 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.

Shaker: This is an experimental neurotransmitter enhancer which increases the patients health, strength, and dexterity every 15 seconds, but decreases intelligence by a similar amount. Users also temporarily gain the over confidence and a high pain threshold. This drug is considered unethical by the Federation.

Memory Blockers

These agents 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 could be detrimental to the Empire.

Crediline: This well known drug has been in production for many years. Crediline makes the user more likely to believe anything that they are told. Its use has been recently been mostly superseded by more effective memory blockers.

Memory-Beta: This drug stimulates the users memory. At times, it allows the user to attempt to remember information previously forgotten. It is only effective about 50% of the time.

Radiation Exposure Hyronalin: 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. However, each dosage beyond the first risks Hyronalyn poisoning, which could lead to permanent damage.

Regeneratives

Cortical Analeptic: Pharmaceutical used to reinvigorate the tissue of the cerebral cortex in Romulanoid patients.

Metorapan treatments: Regenerative treatments for fracture patients.

Respiratory Drugs

Dexalin: Drug used to treat oxygen deprivation.

Tri-ox compound: Medication used to help a Romulanoid patient breathe more easily in a thin or oxygen-deprived atmosphere. This drug helps to move additional oxygen to blood in thin atmospheres, or in cases of oxygen starvation.

Resuscitative

Borathium : An experimental rybotherapy agent developed as a potential replacement for leporazine and morathial. This drug is currently undergoing species specific testing and and is not approved for use with Romulanoids at this time.

Cortolin: Resuscitative drug.

Leporazine: A general resuscitative.

Morathial: A general resuscitative.

Restoratives

Dermaline Gel: This gel is approved for treatment of first and second degree burns in Romulanoid patients.

Purge: This highly effective systemic cleanser rids the user's systems of foreign biochemicals, and neutralizes active drugs (including recreational drugs and alcohol) within minutes.

Retroviral vaccines.

Attentuated retroviral compounds, used for preventative inoculation against common retroviruses

Sedatives

Kayolane: This agent causes immediate unconsciousness in Romulanoid species. The patient will remain asleep for 1-6 hours. Melorazine: This agent is a powerful sedative that causes immediate unconsciousness in Romulanoid species. The patient will remain asleep for a minimum of 3-8 hours.

Morphazine: Puts patients into deep, dreamless sleep for 3- 18 hours.

Rexlin: This drug can be used as a tranquilizer, a pain killer, and/or a sedative. The effect achieved is dose dependent.

Stimulants

Cordrazine: A powerful stimulant that will usually revive a stunned or unconscious patient completely when used in appropriate doses, cordrazine is highly addictive. Overdose can lead to delusional paranoia.

Delactovine: A common stimulant with few side effects. It is mildly addictive.

Elactovine: Systemic stimulant drug.

Formazine: A common stimulant that can cause irritability with prolonged use (more than three days). Otherwise, it has the same effects as Delactovine. Usually administered by hypospray .

Stokaline: A mild stimulant that will revive an unconscious or stunned patient. Stokaline has no major side effects and is non-addictive. However, patients quickly develop a tolerance to it. This effect is permanent and cumulative.

Tricordrazine: A powerful neurostimulant drug usually administered subcutaneously by hypospray. A refined version of Cordrazine, tricordrazine lacks the delusional paranoia side effects. However treicordrazine will not revive as well as Cordrazine. It is still highly addictive.

Vertazine: Medication used to combat vertigo in Romulanoid patients.

Suspensions

Deoxyribose suspensions: A fluid derived from DNA.
