In terms of Medicine's optimal use in regards to its medical potency: medicine is best used for treating diseases and infections; it's overkill for standard injuries (unless a pawn is bleeding out so rapidly that they'll bleed out even before herbal medicine treats the wounds), but also isn't good enough to reliably perform surgical operations - unless the doctor is bionic and is enhanced by potentially [[luciferium]] and [[go-juice]] in conjunction, or is a trauma savant.

Although there's a lot of talk about Medicine when it comes to diseases; ordinary Medicine is still adequate for treating even the [[plague]] and [[malaria]] with ordinary beds, providing that the patients are rested at all times and well-fed, treatment is prompt, and a healthy doctor with at least 8 or 9 medicine skill (even without the use of the holy grail that is [[penoxycyline]]).

Medicine can either be occasionally looted from pirate [[raider]]s, purchased from outlandish/orbital traders, or manufactured at a [[drug lab]] using herbal medicine, [[cloth]], and [[neutroamine]].

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 3 cloth , herbal medicine and neutroamine (skill requirement: medicine 6+ and crafting 3+, the pawn must also be capable of intellectual work).

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+.
