==Hypospray Agents== | |||
The [[Federation]] possessed a vast pharmacopeia of medicines. Some only worked for a single species, but many functioned on most or all humanoids. However, detailed scans using a diagnostic bed or at least a [[medical]] [[tricorder]] were necessary to determine if a specific drug was likely to be safe or effective when used on a member of a humanoid species that was not in Starfleet’s [[medical]] databases. The following are some of the drugs most often used by [[Starfleet Medical|Starfleet medical]] officers. | |||

In 2375, Skrain Dukat attempted to have the members of the Cult of the Pah-wraiths commit mass suicide with promazine. Dukat intended to take a harmless substance disguised to look like a promazine pill. Because the bodies of the cultists would've broken down, it would've left the [[Federation]] to assume that he had committed suicide, and that his body was among the mounds of dust that the [[Federation]] would've discovered.

Latest revision as of 19:11, 4 June 2022
A hypospray (or hypo) is a small hand-held piece of technology used to inject medicine or other drugs and treatments into a patient.
History
By the 2260s the standard Starfleet hypospray was designed to accept a swappable vial of medicine. Field hyposprays were pre-loaded with an inert saline solution that could carry any of five selected concentrated emergency medication. (TNG reference: Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual)
In the early 23rd century the standard Starfleet hypospray held one ampule which held ten doses of a single drug. By the 24th century this capacity was increased to five ampules each holding ten doses. (Decipher RPG module: Player's Guide)
In 2259 of the Kelvin timeline, Spock injected the Gorn commander with a hypospray full of the antidote to the Gorn virus, resulting in his death just as he, Kirk and T'Mar beamed away from the Gorn mothership. (TOS video game: Star Trek)
In 2270, Montgomery Scott rigged a hypospray to explode on impact and emit anesthesia gas. James T. Kirk threw it at a tribe of Xhosa who were trying to kill his otherwise unarmed landing party on Vehtora IV. Unfortunately the tribesmen appeared to be immune to the gas. (TOS - Star Trek Unlimited comic: "As Flies to Wanton Boys")
Hypospray Agents
The Federation possessed a vast pharmacopeia of medicines. Some only worked for a single species, but many functioned on most or all humanoids. However, detailed scans using a diagnostic bed or at least a medical tricorder were necessary to determine if a specific drug was likely to be safe or effective when used on a member of a humanoid species that was not in Starfleet’s medical databases. The following are some of the drugs most often used by Starfleet medical officers.
ANESTHETICS
- Anesthezine
- This is an inhalant (gas) that can be used as a general anaesthetic, but is more often used by Security as an intruder control measure. A concentration of 70 parts per million is more than enough to render humanoids unconscious. It has also been used as a crowd control agent and to subdue dangerous persons ("The Hunted" [TNG]).
- Anetrizine
- Anesthetizes cranial nerves heavily stunning subject for 10-60 minutes. Pharmaceutical used to anaesthetize cranial nerves, such as when Voyager's EMH treated Seven of Nine. Sometimes given to patients in the throes of hallucination to give them more control over their fantasies ("The Gift" [VOY]).
- Axonol
- Hyvroxilated Quint-ethyl Metacetamin
- Quark tried to use some of the stuff to drug Dr. Julian Bashir to "fix" a racquetball match between Bashir and Miles O'Brien in 2370 ("Rivals" [DS9]).
- Melenex
- Melenex was an anesthetic that was carried in 2260s Starfleet medkits. In 2269, Doctor McCoy used melenex to make Spock appear ill, fooling the computer that controlled the Shore Leave Planet. McCoy described the effects of melenex as "brief unconsciousness and temporary skin discoloration," adding, "It looks worse than it is." Once the doctor dosed Spock with ten ccs of melenex via hypospray, McCoy told Spock that it would take ten seconds to take effect, resulting in unconsciousness for less than five minutes. (TAS: "Once Upon a Planet")
- Nasal Numbing Agent
- A nasal numbing agent was an injection to reduce the sensitivity of odor perception. Sub-commander T'Pol took injections to reduce her sensitivity to the smell Humans produced. While being held hostage at the monastery at P'Jem, she told Captain Jonathan Archer about the difficulties of sharing a blanket with him because she'd had her last nasal numbing agent over twenty-four hours previously. (ENT: "The Andorian Incident")
- Neurozine
- Neurozine was among the emergency crowd-control anaesthetics onboard the Prometheus and was used to incapacitate Romulans who had commandeered the ship in 2374. Aerosol-based ("Message in a Bottle" [VOY]).
ANALGESIC
Drugs that relieve pain. There are two main types: non-narcotic analgesics for mild pain, and narcotic analgesics for severe pain.
- Aerosal
- Aerosal was a mild analgesic medicine common in the Federation in the 23rd century. Leonard McCoy wished for aerosal during his Right of Statement on Romulus in 2276. (TOS - Rihannsu novel: The Romulan Way)
- Asinolyathin
- Pain reliever; moderately reduces effects from being dazed or injured. This substance is used as a pain-killer for muscle spasms ("Visionary" [DS9]).
- Aspirin
- Aspirin was a white crystalline derivative of salicylic acid, which was often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains or to reduce fever, or use as an anti-inflammatory medication.
- Bicaridine
- Bicaridine was an analgesic medication often used as a substitute for metorapan. In 2368, Wesley Crusher was treated with bicaridine instead of metorapan because he was allergic to metorapan. (TNG: "The First Duty")
- Hydrocortilene
- Analgesic medicine used to alleviate pain, such as headaches ("The Swarm" [VOY]).
- Metorapan
- Treatments Regenerative treatment for fracture patients. Wesley Crusher was allergic to metorapan. ("The First Duty" [TNG]).
- Morphenolog
- Eases subject's pain and stops convulsions. Used to ease pain and stop convulsions. Used by Doctor Bashir in a 2-cc dose when Bareil lashed out violent pain as his left parietal lobe suffered damagefrom the ongoing Vasokil treatments ("Life Support" [DS9]).
- Terakine
- Lightly reduces the effect of a subject's injury. Analgesic medication. Terakine was administered to Commander William Riker following an accident in bat'leth practice where he fractured a rib ("The Pegasus" [TNG]).
- Triptacederine
- A narcotic used to relieve pain. It is noted that 30cc's would anaesthetize an Algorian Mammoth, but it hardly dents the Cardassian physiology.
ANTIBIOTIC
- Cephalothin
- Cephalothin was an antibacterial drug used by Federation science in the 23rd century. Cephalothin was used to sterilize regions within a humanoid's body prior to a surgical procedure. In 2274, Doctors Leonard McCoy and Christine Chapel performed a dichotomectomy procedure aboard the starship USS Enterprise for Dykranus, Imperator of Zeta-Atez. Two grams of cephalothin were administered prior to commencing nerve restructure. (TOS comic: "Heads of State")
- Sterilite
- Sterilite is a drug available to Starfleet medicine in the 23rd and 24th centuries. It was a strong antibiotic safe for use with most humanoid species and often used after surgical procedures, particularly those undertaken outside of a sterile environment. (FASA RPG modules: Cadet's Orientation Sourcebook, Star Fleet Intelligence Manual)
CARDIOVASCULAR
- Adrenaline
- Adrenaline (C9H13O3N), also known as epinephrine, was a hormone and neurotransmitter with powerful effects on the sympathetic nervous system. It was generated in the adrenal glands. As a drug, it was used to treat radiation poisoning. Although by 2267 it had been replaced in clinical use by hyronalin, an adrenaline serum was found to be effective in the treatment of an unknown radiation left over by particles originating from a comet that passed near Gamma Hydra IV. The radiation had caused an hyperacceleration of the aging process. (TOS: "The Deadly Years")
- Anticoagulant
- An anticoagulant was a substance that delayed or prevented the coagulation of blood.
- Ardrosam-G
- Ardrosam-G was a drug substance that was in use by Federation medical practitioners in the 23rd century. In extreme cases, Ardrosam-G could be injected directly into the heart to stimulate cardiac function. (TOS novel: The Wounded Sky)
- Benjisidrine
- Digoxin
- Digoxin can be used to treat atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and heart failure, but is toxic in higher doses.
- Hyperzine
- Cardiac stimulant; removes subject injuries caused by cardiac arrest. Stimulant used in Starfleet practice that was administered in at least two 20cc doses for Garak's seizures in 2370 when his shut-down cranial implant stopped triggering the endorphin flow that his body had grown dependent on ("The Wire"[DS9]).
- Lectrazine
- Increases subject stamina to resist heart or kidney failure. - Lectrazine was used to stabilize cardiovascular and renal systems in humanoid patients. ("Lifesigns" [VGR], "Sacred Ground" [VGR], "Warlord" [VGR]).
- Metabolic Reduction Injection
- Henoch synthesized a metabolic reduction compound so that Kirk, Spock, and Dr. Ann Mulhall's bodies could carry the intellects of Sargon, Henoch, and Thalassa. The drug reduced heart rate and all bodily functions to normal, allowing the three to occupy the humanoid bodies without permanent damage to those bodies. Henoch secretly prepared a different compound for Sargon in an attempt to destroy his ancient enemy. ("Return to Tomorrow" [TOS]).
- Metrazene
- Vasokin
- Vasokin was an experimental drug which increased blood flow to humanoid organs. In 22% of studied cases it caused severe damage to the lungs, kidneys, heart, and brain. In 2371, Dr. Julian Bashir administered Vasokin to Vedek Bareil Antos in an attempt to save his life. Unfortunately, this led to irreversible brain damage. (DS9: "Life Support")
DERMATOLOGICAL
- Dermalplast
- Medical preparation used to treat chemical burns ("Demon" [VOY]).
- Dermaline
- Dermaline was an injectable drug used to prevent sunburns. In 2376, Neelix was so excited to be on a beautiful Norcadian beach that he forgot to take his dermaline injection. As a result, he ended up with severe burns from the planet's two suns, which he treated with leola ointment. (VOY: "Tsunkatse") In gel form, it could be used to treat patients who had suffered first and second degree burns. (ENT: "Dear Doctor"; VOY: "Deadlock")
- Dermoline Gel
- Medicinal material used in the treatment of burns. ("Deadlock" [VOY])
- Kelotane
- Stabilizes burns; restores burn damage with each dose. Medical drug used to treat radiation burns and sickness. ("State of Flux" [VOY])
IMMUNOLOGICAL
NARCOTICS
- Alcohol
- Alcohol (chemical designation ethyl alcohol or ethanol) was a colorless, liquid chemical, usually the by-product of fermenting sugar. Alcohol could be a powerful psychoactive drug with intoxicating effects on humanoids. The effects of polywater intoxication were similar to those of alcohol. Alcohol could also be used as a coolant or disinfectant.
- Bericol
- Bericol was a Cardassian street narcotic. Dosages of less than one c.c. create a sense of intense euphoria in the user. However, larger doses cause loss of consciousness and even headaches, though no permanent damage. Cadet Bael Nomine used bericol injections to incapacitate USS Enterprise security officers Timothy Lynch and Kao, in order to carry out the orders of Admiral James Leyton. (TNG eBook: Slings and Arrows: The Oppressor's Wrong)
- Caffeine
- Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) was a stimulant that was present in a variety of foods and beverages, including coffee and raktajino. Beverages with the caffeine removed were known to be decaffeinated. It could be somewhat addictive to most humanoids if consumed on a regular basis (excluding Vulcans, according to T'Pol).
- A narcotic substance produced from plants on the planet Brekka. Felicium has other medicinal properties and was used centuries ago to cure a deadly plague on neighbouring planet Ornara. Once the plague was ended, all the people on Ornara were addicted to the drug, and the people of Brekka continued to provide it, for a significant price. ("Symbiosis" [TNG])
- Hupyrian Beetle Snuff
- Hupyrian beetle snuff was a fine powder made of dried beetles that was a delicacy among Ferengi. It was inhaled through the nose and could often produce a fit of sneezing. It acted as a mild stimulant with some euphoric side effects. It also had a deleterious effect on the linings of the nose which was cumulative.
- Impedrezene
- Impedrazine was a drug designed to help stimulate cardiac function. It could also be used to counter the effects of psilocybin.
- Ketracel White
- LSD
- D-lysergic acid diethylamide (C20H25ON3), commonly called LSD, was a powerful psychotropic drug that was used for medical, spiritual, and recreational purposes on Earth.
- Maraji Crystals
- A controlled substance that was illegal to possess or sell in the Cardassian Union. Captain Livara, a Romulan spy who posed as a Talavian smuggler, visited Terok Nor in 2367 and tried to interest Quark in some maraji crystals ("Things Past" [DS9]).
- Psilocybin
- Psilocybin was a psychoactive drug. Its effects could be quickly counter-acted with impedrezene.
- Rhuludian Crystals
- Induces a narcotic effect made from dried and ground herbs ("Fair Trade" [VOY]).
- Snakeleaf
- Snakeleaf was a type of flowering plant whose tendrils could be sublimated using a horgl, although doing so was known to induce paranoia. During what she described as her fourteen year-long slide into humiliation and rage, Raffi Musiker grew snakeleaf plants outside her home near Vasquez Rocks and sublimated them. (PIC: "The End is the Beginning")
- Speed
- Speed was a stimulant. While discussing how a synthetic mind meld augment prodedure might jolt an unconscious person awake, Paul Stamets described it as "a psychic hit of speed." Michael Burnham had been thinking more along the lines of an adrenaline shot, but agreed with this comparison as well. (DIS: "Lethe")
- Synthehol
- Synthehol (a portmanteau of "synthesized" and "alcohol") was a chemical variant of alcohol. It appeared to have the same taste and smell as "real" alcohol to most individuals, but none of the deleterious effects associated with alcohol for most humanoids, such as debilitating intoxication, addiction, and alcohol poisoning. Most humanoids had an enzyme which broke down the alcohol-like compounds in synthehol. According to Data, synthehol's "intoxicating effects can be easily dismissed." (TNG: "Relics")
- Tobacco
- Tobacco was an agricultural product on the planet Earth. To extract nicotine, a highly addictive and poisonous substance, Humans smoked and chewed tobacco on Earth until at least the 21st century.
- Tropolisine
- Tropolisine was a psychotropic compound known for its hallucinogenic effects. Normally found in certain flowering plants, each tropolisine atom contained a stray neutron. Once it started to break down in a humanoid's bloodstream it released an undetectable toxin. In 2151, while exploring an uncharted M-class planet later named Archer IV, the crew of Enterprise NX-01 became affected by tropolisine that was blown down from the mountains during a windstorm. It was discovered by Dr. Phlox that inaprovaline, combined with being removed from the pollen-saturated environment would allow the effects of tropolisine to dissipate. (ENT: "Strange New World") By the early 23rd century, a permanent cure for the hallucinogenic effects of tropolisine had been found, allowing Humans to settle the planet. ("In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II", personnel file)

Cordrazine is "tricky stuff" - overdose can lead to delusional paranoia, and the drug is addictive. It was originally used in cryogenic laboratories to stimulate production of epinephrine and norepinephrine in the Human brain, allowing nerve transmission to be restored to the frozen body. (TOS reference: Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual) By the 24th century, a more potent form of cordrazine had been developed, tricordrazine. (TNG episode: "Ethics")

In 2366, Crusher ordered 60 ccs along with cardio stimulation as among the first treatments for the badly wounded "John Doe" to help raise his autonomic response. The same dose was given to Captain Picard when his cardiac implant was fused; a 20-cc dose was given to Dr. Reyga in vain afterhis sabotagedmetaphasic shield test.
- Masiform D
- Masiform-D is a stimulant and antitoxin developed on Omicron Eridani III. Originally used as a common stimulant, it was later found to be an antitoxin to saplin, curare, and similar drugs. A standard dosage is 10 cc. It works by enveloping the poison to prevent its absorption, while soothing and protecting the tissue. Depending on the dose, it can sometimes also help remove the poison. Its possible side effects include a feeling of stimulation, and in Vulcanoids, it can cause stomach cramps and nausea. (ST reference: Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual)
- Netinaline
- Pharmaceutical stimulant. Used to waken a patient from unconsciousness. ("Emanations" [VOY])
- Neuro-stimulant
- A neuro-stimulant was a drug administered to keep a patient from falling asleep. Doctor Beverly Crusher injected Commander William T. Riker with a neuro-stimulant to counteract the neuro-sedative given to him by solanogen-based lifeforms whenever they abducted him into their realm. The stimulant would keep him awake when entering their realm through a spatial rupture. It was given to him before being taken for the final time by the aliens. The Doctor had to inject him with a very high dosage, as the alien sedative was very strong and warned him that the procedure might be risky. In this case the drug did work to keep him awake without any major side effects. (TNG: "Schisms")
- Polyadrenaline
- Polyadrenaline was a synthetic version of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. It was designed as a stimulant which could aid in the revival of a patient who had died or was near death.

In 2375, Skrain Dukat attempted to have the members of the Cult of the Pah-wraiths commit mass suicide with promazine. Dukat intended to take a harmless substance disguised to look like a promazine pill. Because the bodies of the cultists would've broken down, it would've left the Federation to assume that he had committed suicide, and that his body was among the mounds of dust that the Federation would've discovered. This mass suicide was prevented by Kira Nerys, and the cult disbanded while Dukat was forced to flee. (DS9 episode: "Covenant")

AXONOL This gaseous anesthetic rapidly renders patients unconscious and is sufficiently safe that it can also be used as a crowd control agent to quell riots by safely knocking the rioters unconscious. Both anesthizine and neurozine are very similar drugs that can be used for the same purposes.
CERVALINE An antirejection drug used to prevent rejection of transplanted tissue. To prevent a patient’s body from rejecting a transplant, this drug must be given every few hours throughout the entire healing process.
CORDRAZINE This powerful stimulant is used for patients experiencing cardiac arrest, to revive unconscious or comatose patients, or to stabilize patients who had come in contact with a dangerously powerful chemical that is depressing their metabolism. A more powerful version called tricordrazine is also widely used. An overdose of cordrazine can temporarily produce both delusions and violent paranoia.
COROPHIZINE An antibiotic often used to prevent secondary infections caused by other illnesses.
CORTOLIN This drug helps restore normal breathing functions in humanoids who have stopped breathing due to injury.
DERMALINE This drug can be administered either as an injection or a gel applied to the patient’s skin. It is used to treat first and second-degree burns.
DYLOVENE A broad-spectrum antitoxin that is commonly used when someone has been poisoned by an unknown substance.
HYDROCORTILINE A common pain medication often used for headaches.
HYRONALIN This drug is used as a general treatment for radiation poisoning other than that caused by theta radiation. It can be given by injection both prior to exposure as a preventative and afterwards as a treatment. In gaseous form, it can safely be used to treat large number of humanoids simultaneously by introducing it into a starship’s or building’s air supply.
LECTRAZINE This drug is used to stabilize humanoid cardiovascular and renal systems. When given in combination with hyronalin it provides enhanced protection against radiation.
TRI-OX COMPOUND This common drug is injected to allow humanoids to function more comfortably and safely in low oxygen environments. It works by releasing oxygen directly into the patient’s bloodstream. Each injection provides additional oxygen to the patient for up to an hour or two.
