Medicine is an item used in [[doctoring]].
  
Healing is done by colonists with [[doctoring]] enabled. The patient needs to have [[patient]] enabled and be in a bed. Medicine is not required, but will '''improve the chance of a good treatment''' drastically, allow for the '''healing of multiple small injuries in one go''' and '''double the amount of experience gained''' by the doctor.

Medicine is an item used in doctoring.

Acquisition

Medicine can either be purchased from traders, looted from raiders, or crafted at a drug lab using: cloth (x3), herbal medicine and neutroamine (skill requirement: medicine 6+ and crafting 3+).

Efficiency

Superior to herbal medicine but inferior to glitterworld medicine.

Best used for treating diseases and infections; misused if for standard injuries (unless a colonist is bleeding out faster than the herbal medicine completes to patch the wound).

Good enough for surgical operations in many cases, with a low chance of failure. If the doctor is bionic-enhanced, trauma savant or drug-enhanced then you can guarantee 100% success rate for most surgeries.

It is adequate against plague and malaria with ordinary beds so long as the patients are resting full time, well-fed, constantly treated and the doctor is healthy with medicine skill 8+.
