Inaprovaline, chloromydride – a commonly used class of
cardiostimulatory drugs. Indicated for
treatment of cardiogenic and hypovolemic shock, i.e. myocardial infarction
(“heart attack”), traumatic cardiac arrest, other causes of sudden cardiac
failure. For trauma cases, administer 10
milligrams bolus dose by hypospray; maintain on intravenous drip of 1 mg/hour.
Cordrazine, tricordrazine – powerful corticosteroid-based
stimulants (similar biochemically to adrenaline). In humanoid patients, these drugs increase
heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rate; secondary effects such as
nausea, muscle tremors and abnormal mentation are common. Indicated for bradycardia (abnormally slow
heart rate), cardiac arrest, hypovolemic shock, and anaphylactic
reactions. For resuscitation of the
asystolic (pulseless) trauma patient, give 0.05 mg/kg (3.5 mg in the
"average" 70-kg humanoid) cordrazine by IV every 5 minutes according
to ACLS protocols.
N.B. Overdose (more than 0.1 mg/kg, or more than 7
mg for the “average” 70-kg humanoid) results in extremely high blood pressure,
psychosis, tachycardia (abnormally high heart rate) and potentially death due
to ventricular fibrillation or cerebrovascular accident (“stroke”). 25 mg
in most humanoids is an instantly fatal overdose.
N.B. Cordrazine and tricordrazine are Schedule IV
drugs; use with caution.
Cortolin, formazine – anticholinergic agents, used to treat
bradycardia, also used in resuscitation.
In patients with pulseless electrical activity (PEA), give 1 mg bolus
dose intravenously. If using formazine,
give 10 mg in divided doses, i.e. 2 mg every 5 minutes if the patient has
cardiac activity, 5 mg every 10 minutes if in PEA or asystolic.
Delactovine, masiform-D, quadroline – class of systemic
stimulants with vasopressor properties.
Use in combination with inaprovaline, et al. to prevent shock and
cardiovascular collapse in trauma patients.
After cardiac function has been established, give 15 mg delactovine
bolus dose, or any of these drugs in an IV drip of 0.3 mg/kg (approximately 20
mg total dose for the average 70-kg patient). Do not use quadroline in patients
taking loop diuretics, as fatal arrhythmias can result.
Leporazine, morathial series – combination drugs that
provide convenient, “one-shot” dosing for treatment of most cardiopulmonary
sequelae of traumatic shock; the complete series provides cardiac stimulation,
anti-arrhythmic protection, and respiratory support. Give 15 mg bolus dose IV by hypospray, then 5
mg doses every 30 minutes thereafter.
Dexalin, pulmozine – commonly used emergency respiratory
therapy drugs; these increase the circulatory system’s oxygen carrying capacity
and may limit bronchospasm in anaphylactic shock. Give 10 mg bolus dose IM by hypospray, or in
an IV drip of 0.07 mg/kg/hour.
Alizine – mast cell stabilizer, for use in most systemic
allergic conditions. Give 10 mg SC by
hypospray once daily.
Cateline – histamine blocker and vasoconstrictor. For anaphylactic shock secondary to allergic
reaction, give 15 mg IV by hypospray in conjunction with 5 mg epinephrine SC.
Dexalin, pulmozine – see uses in “Emergency/Resuscitative”
above. For chronic obstructive pulmonary
disorder, typical dosage is 50 mg
Tryptophan-lysine distillate – anti-inflammatory and
immunostimulatory drug, used for mild to moderate respiratory infections;
drowsiness and fatigue are the most common side effects. Give up to 2 grams IM in four divided doses
daily. TLD is most effective when used
in conjunction with the “PCS” regimen, that is, one bowl of hot chicken soup
taken
Acinolyathin – non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)
for mild to moderate headache, muscle pain and joint pain. Give 10 mg every four to six hours PRN for
pain relief; increase dosing as needed, up to 40 mg.
N.B. May be obtained OTC in up to 20 mg
Hydrocortilene – long-duration corticosteroid analgesic and
anti-inflammatory. For joint injuries
and mild to moderate osteoarthritis, inject 5 mg directly into the affected
joint; repeat every 6 months as needed.
Morphenolog – synthetic opioid analgesic, for relief of
severe chronic or acute pain; also controls seizures at low doses. Begin treatment with a 5-mg/hour IV drip;
taper to lowest dose that adequately controls the patient’s pain, up to 20
mg/hour.
N.B. Morphenolog is a Schedule II drug. Use caution when prescribing, gradually wean
the patient off the medication when discontinuing use, and watch carefully for
signs of addiction.
Numinol tetramidaphin – antipyretic and anti-inflammatory
drug. For fever and muscle pain
secondary to upper respiratory infection, give 250 mg PRN every 4 to 6 hours,
not to exceed 1500 mg per 24 hours.
Terakine – COX-2 inhibitor for relief of moderate to severe
headache, muscle pain and joint pain.
Give 50 mg
N.B. Terakine is a Schedule V drug.
Tramadol – non-narcotic analgesic for relief of moderate
chronic or acute pain. Give 50 mg
N.B. Tramadol is a Schedule III drug; use with
caution and monitor for signs of abuse.

moderate to severe acute or chronic pain.
Give 15 mg IM or 30 mg
N.B. Triptocederine is a Schedule III drug; use
with caution and monitor for signs of abuse.
Anesthezine – inhaled sedative, typically used for riot
control and other security applications.
In emergencies, it can also be used as a general surgical anesthetic;
give 5 liters by nasal cannula with oxygen, at a 50% gas concentration.
Axonol - topical anesthetic. For pain relief during
minor surgical procedures (wound debridement, etc.), disinfect the skin site
and spray axonol onto the skin. For pain relief of minor injuries such as
cuts, scrapes and burns, apply axonol cream liberally to the skin and cover
with a sterile dressing.
Desflurane – inhaled halothane general anesthetic
agent. Give with oxygen or terrestrial
air at a 5% gas concentration.
Desflurane and other halothane agents (enflurane, isoflurane,
methoxyflurane and sevoflurane) are contraindicated in Bajoran, Vulcan and
Romulan patients due to the high risk of malignant hyperthermia, a potentially
fatal complication.
Kayolane – mild sedative, not commonly used due to common,
undesirable side effects. For general
anxiety and stress conditions, give 5 mg
N.B. Kayolane is a Schedule IV drug; use with
caution.

pre-operative sedation. Give 10 mg IV 30
minutes prior to surgery.
Pavulon – neural paralytic, used to induce neuromuscular
blockade in rapid sequence intubation and in conjunction with general
anesthesia during surgery. Give 0.75
mg/kg (approximately 50 mg in the “average” 70-kg humanoid) as an initial dose,
then 0.25 mg/kg (approximately 17 mg “average”) every 90 minutes as needed.
N.B. Patients must be mechanically ventilated
while on this drug.
Quintethyl metasetamine – inhaled general anesthetic. Give with oxygen or terrestrial air, at a 3%
gas concentration.
Antimicrobial (Antibiotic, Antiviral,
Antifungal):
Corophizine – broad-spectrum antibiotic; Starfleet Medical
directives suggest reserving use of this drug until other treatment modalities
have failed, in order to reduce the possibility of developing drug-resistant
microbes. For septicemia or severe
drug-resistant infection, give 10-15 mg/kg (700-1000 mg in the “average”
patient) IM every 12 hours.
Genericillin - synthetic cillin-type antibiotic, effective
against all Gram-negative and some Gram-positive aerobic organisms. For
treatment of susceptible bacterial infections, give 500-750 mg
Oseltamivir – antiviral drug used in the treatment of viral
upper-respiratory infections. For
influenza, give 75 mg
Mycovir - anti-retroviral drug that inhibits viral binding
via the CD4+ pathway. For treatment of retroviral infection, give 150 mg
PO four times daily, in combination with a reverse transcriptase inhibitor
(nucleoside analog or non-nucleoside inhibitor depending on the causative
organism), until viral load is confirmed undetectable for six weeks.
Phetetalin – macrolide antibiotic, effective against a wide
range of bacterial infections, first-line treatment for most bacterial
infective disorders. Begin dosing at 50
mg PO or IM 3 times daily; dosage can be increased up to a total dose of 1 gram
daily (500 mg in 2 doses, or 250 mg in four doses), although higher doses incur
an unacceptably high risk of cardiac and renal damage. Phetetalin may be
used in patients with cillin or cephalosporin allergy. Do not use in
patients with documented sensitivity to other macrolide antibiotics.
Ryetalyn – antiviral medication, primarily effective against
arboviruses. Typically used as a
specific for Rigelian fever, although other viral-mediated neurological fevers
can be treated with this drug. Typical
dosage is 200 mg
N.B. For Klingon patients, double the listed doses
to compensate for brak’lul physiology.
Benjisidrine – Vulcan anti-arrhythmic medication. To control premature ventricular contractions
(PVC’s), give 25 mg IV as a loading dose and maintain on 15 mg PO or IV once
daily. Note that benjisidrine is relatively
contraindicated in other species, although it may be used in Romulans and
Bajorans without ill effects.
Cortolin – see uses in “Emergency/Resuscitative” above. For treatment of bradycardia (abnormally slow
heart rate) and some forms of atrioventricular block (first-degree and Type 1
second degree), give 250 mg IM or PO three times daily and gradually taper dose
to the lowest level that suppresses the disease.
Delactovine, masiform-D, quadroline – see uses in
“Emergency/Resuscitative” above. For
treatment of angina pectoris and supraventricular tachycardias, give 40 mg three
times daily; increase dosing until arrhythmia is well controlled, up to 80 mg
per dose. Do not use quadroline in patients taking furosemide or other loop
diuretics.
Impedrezine – medication used to control high blood pressure
in humanoid species. For treatment of
baseline hypertension, give 50 mg
Metrazine – humanoid anti-arrhythmic medication. For control of most tachycardic arrhythmias,
give 100 mg IM or 200 mg
Arithrazine - anti-radiation drug, most effective as a
treatment for theta radiation poisoning. For acute theta radiation
exposure (>25 Gray), give 50 mg IV or IM four times daily. If total
radiation dose exceeds 100 Gray, arithrazine may be administered in an IV drip
at 1 mg/Gray/hour.
Benzocyatizine – drug used to raise serum isoboramine levels
in Trill patients. For
hypoisoboraminemia secondary to symbiont trauma, give 1.5 mg/kg (100 mg for an
“average” 70-kg patient) IV every 12 hours, until isoboramine levels increase
above 75 mcg/dL serum concentration.
Benzocyatizine is contraindicated for use in all other humanoid species.
Chlorhexidine - preoperative skin preparation agent and
surgical scrub. Scrub each hand for a minimum of 2 minutes, following
proper aseptic technique, before any surgical procedure.
Dermaline gel – topical medication used to treat burn
injuries. To treat superficial (1st-degree),
partial-thickness (2nd-degree) and full-thickness (3rd-degree)
burns, disinfect the burned area and surrounding skin, apply a thin layer of
gel over the burned area, then cover with a loose sterile bandage.
Dermatiraelian plasticine - injectable collagenase compound
used in plastic surgery. To alter and maintain skin shape after a
cosmetic procedure, inject up to 10 mg intradermally; wait 10 minutes to allow
sufficient skin plasticity before attempting to alter skin shape.
Treatment should be repeated every 3 days or as needed to maintain desired
results.
Furosemide - diuretic medication. For edema, give 40
mg
Glucogen – concentrated hexose (blood sugars) solution. For acute hypoglycemia in humanoid patients,
give 50% solution in 1 liter of normal saline or Ringer’s lactate.
Glucophage – hypoglycemic drug used to lower abnormally high
(greater than 200 mg/dL) blood sugar levels.
For acute diabetes mellitus, give 500 mg
Hemolog – blood substitute for use in all oxygen-breathing
humanoid species. (Due to its mixture of
iron, copper and magnesium-based globins, hemolog is pinkish-orange in
color.) For the hypovolemic trauma
patient, give two 500-mL units IV, or as needed to replace lost blood
volume. Many species-specific forms of
hemolog are available; these are preferable to the general-use form, and should
be used if possible. Do not use multi-species hemolog in Bolian patients,
as the presence of Vulcan cuproglobins will cause a fatal agglutination
reaction.
Hyronalin - multi-purpose anti-radiation drug used to treat
most forms of radiation poisoning. For acute radiation exposure (> 50
Gray), administer 500 mg IV once daily. For prophylaxis of radiation
exposure, administer 150 mg IV twice daily. Hyronalin poisoning becomes
evident at doses over 1000 mg bolus, or 7 days continuous use of the maximum
daily dose. Use caution when combining hyronalin with other
anti-radiation drugs such as arithrazine.
Kelotane – drug used to accelerate healing in
partial-thickness (2nd-degree) and full-thickness (3rd-degree)
burns. For every 1% of body surface area
burned, give 10 mg SC by hypospray.
Lectrazine - drug used to stabilize renal function.
For acute renal failure (creatinine >2 mg/dL, BUN >20 mg/dL), give 25 mg
IM or IV once daily, along with furosemide or another loop diuretic.
Polynutrient solution – total parenteral nutrition (TPN)
given to malnourished patients. Give 1
liter in an IV drip every 6 hours.
Tesokine - pediatric anabolic stimulant, predominantly used
to treat cases of malnourishment secondary to inadequate gastrointestinal
development in premature infants. For Bajoran, Romulan and Vulcan
neonates with symptoms of gastric insufficiency, give 0.5 mg/kg IV bolus every
six hours along with polynutrient solution. Tesokine is relatively
contraindicated for use in all other species, as similar drugs exist with a
better species-specific side effect profile.
Trianaline - drug used to treat percussive injuries
(concussions, contusions, et al.) Give 0.4 mg/kg (30 mg in the
"average" 70-kg humanoid) IM or IV. If symptoms persist, an
additional 10-mg dose can be given, not to exceed 50 mg in 48 hours.
Busulfatine - ointment used for treatment of ocular flash
burns, i.e. secondary to phaser or radiation exposure. Apply a 1 cm ribbon of ointment in the
affected eye twice daily.
Dorzolamide – drug used to treat ocular hypertension
(abnormally high intra-ocular pressure, a precursor condition for
glaucoma). Give 1 drop in each eye twice
daily; increase dosing until IOP can be maintained at a normal level. Dorzolamide can also be used as pre-operative
prophylaxis to prevent an IOP spike after eye surgery; give 1 drop in each eye
once daily, beginning 3 days before surgery.
Loteprednol – synthetic steroid. For control of most ocular inflammatory
conditions, give 1 drop per eye 3 times daily. Common side effects include increased
intra-ocular pressure; monitor patient for increased IOP during treatment, and
stop use if IOP spikes are noted.
Paracaine – combination mydriatic, cycloplegic and local
anesthetic; used to anesthetize, dilate and paralyze the eye for
examination. For humans, give 1 drop per
eye; maximum mydriatic effect occurs immediately, wears off in 1 hour. For Vulcans and other species with a nictitating
membrane (“second eyelid”), give 2 drops per eye; maximum effect occurs in 10
minutes, wears off in 45 minutes.
Phetetalin (ophthalmic) – macrolide antibiotic. For infectious corneal ulcer or infectious
keratitis, give 1 drop in the affected eye every 30 minutes round the clock
until condition resolves. For bacterial
conjunctivitis, give 1 drop per eye four times daily for two weeks. Do
not use in patients with documented sensitivity to other macrolide antibiotics.
Retnax V – drug used to treat some cases of myopia by
thinning the cornea. This treatment
method has fallen out of use due to poor predictability of results and high
risk for complications, including keratitis, ectasia and corneal ulcer. (Wavefront-enhanced corneal resculpting is
the current standard of care.)
Bicaridine – osteoregenerative medication, used to
accelerate healing in bone fractures.
After setting and casting the injury, give 500 mg IM in 2 divided doses,
twice daily for three weeks. Bicaridine may be used in patients allergic
to metorapan.
Metorapan – osteoregenerative medication; drug of choice for
treating bone fractures. After setting
and casting the injury, give 200 mg IO (intraosseous injection) into the
injured bone. Do not use in patients with documented sensitivity to
metorapan.
Desegranine – psychiatric drug, used to aid in the memory
recovery process in amnesiac patients.
Dosing varies by patient, but in general, give 5 mg IV by hypospray.
N.B. Desegranine is a Schedule IV drug; use with
caution.
Lexorin – anti-vertigo agent. To treat vertigo and disorientation, give
12.5 mg SC or IM every 24 hours.
Melorazine – see “Anesthetics and Sedatives,” above. For acute psychiatric episodes (mania,
schizophrenia, et al), give 20 mg IM by hypospray as an initial dose, then .15
mg/kg (approximately 10 mg in the “average” patient) every twelve hours
thereafter.
N.B. Melorazine is a Schedule IV drug; use with
caution.
Peridaxon - esterase inhibitor, used to retard synaptic
degradation in degenerative neurological disease. For diagnosed
conditions such as Forrester-Trent syndrome and irumodic syndrome, give 4 mg
Promethazine – anti-emetic drug, second line of treatment if
vertazine cannot be used. For motion
sickness, nausea, vomiting and disorientation, give 50 mg
Sertraline – a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, used
as an antidepressant and mood stabilizer.
For control of major depressive and panic disorders including
holodiction and HTSD, post-traumatic stress syndrome and other mood disorders,
give 50 mg
Vertazine – anti-vertigo and anti-emetic drug. For motion sickness, give 25 mg
Nalmefene – muscarinic agonist, used to reverse
neuromuscular blockade. Give 0.25
mcg/kg/hour IV, and monitor patient carefully.
Naloxone – opioid antagonist, used to reverse the effects of
most “recreational” drugs, also used as an antidote for opioid overdose. Give 2 mg IV every 30 minutes until all drug
is cleared, and monitor patient carefully.
N.B.Narcan will clear the bloodstream of all opioids, whether
therapeutic orrecreational. Use caution when combining Narcan with opioid
analgesics, as itwill negate these drugs' pain-relieving effect.
Netinaline – CNS stimulant, used to reverse unconsciousness
and some mild comas. For unconsciousness
without CNS complications, give 15 mg IV; increase dosing to 25 mg if
necessary. To reverse drug-induced coma,
give 0.1 mg/kg/hour IV until patient is awake and alert.
