Penoxycyline prevents three infectious and potentially quite deadly [[disease]]s:
 +
* [[malaria]]
 +
* [[plague]]
 +
* [[sleeping sickness]]  
  
−
== Acquisition ==
+
It prevents only cases which would be ''acquired while it is active''.  It does nothing to cure pre-existing diseases, including diseases which have been acquired but which have not yet presented symptoms (i.e. have not yet been "discovered").
−
Penoxycyline can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Each dose require {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. Its [[Drug Synthesis Speed|synthesis speed]] is dependent on the [[Skills#Intellectual|Intellectual]] skill, and crafting experience is attributed to Intellectual. Note that [[Neutroamine]] can only be obtained from traders or found in cargo pods.
+
 
 +
It does nothing to prevent or cure [[infection]] from wounds or operations.
 +
 
 +
It is recommended to be taken every 5 days (but see [[Penoxycyline#Usage|Usage]], below).
  
−
It can also be [[Trade|bought]] from orbital, [[Outlander]], or [[Empire]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} traders, as well as Outlander and Empire [[faction base]]s.
+
* Penoxycyline does nothing to prevent these ailments:
 +
:: [[flu]], [[blood rot]], [[scaria]]*, [[gut worms]], [[muscle parasites]], [[fibrous mechanites]], [[sensory mechanites]], or [[paralytic abasia]]
 +
::: (* found in animals only)
  
−
== Summary ==
+
== Acquisition ==
−
Penoxycyline completely prevents users from catching any of the following [[disease]]s while its "high" is active:
+
Penoxycyline can either be crafted at a [[drug lab]] or purchased from traders. Its [[Drug Synthesis Speed|synthesis speed]] is dependent on the [[Skills#Intellectual|Intellectual]] skill, and skill points progress is attributed to Intellectual.
  
−
* [[Malaria]]
+
=== Crafting ===
−
* [[Plague]]
 
−
* [[Sleeping sickness]]
 
  
−
Despite the wording of the description, it does nothing to prevent or treat [[infection]]s, or any other diseases or ailments besides the three above.  
+
* You need to have [[Research#Penoxycyline production|Penoxycyline production]] researched.
 +
* Each pill requires 2 [[Neutroamine]], which is only obtained from traders or found in cargo pods.
  
−
When the [[Events#Disease (Type)|Disease event]] occurs, pawns that were protected from getting the disease by penoxycyline will be specifically noted as such. Penoxycyline does nothing to treat pre-existing diseases.
+
== Usage ==
  
−
Penoxycyline is not addictive and has no direct side effects. Penoxycyline ''can'' contribute to [[overdose]]s, increasing severity by 0.08-0.14 per dose consumed. This severity is not enough to cause any health effect on its own. However, it can cause minor overdoses when taken along with [[hard drugs]].
+
Administering Penoxycyline provides true immunity against diseases over its ~5.556 day duration, preventing the protected pawn from catching the protected diseases. It does nothing to stop a disease that has started and is already in progress. Since diseases have a hidden latent stage, taking penoxycyline during this stage still results in a full-blown infection.  
  
−
== Analysis ==
+
While the in-game description says to ''"Take every five days"'', the effect actually lasts just more than a half-day longer, giving colonists some time to take the pills without receiving an illness during the downtime of the effect (if the duration were in fact 5.000 days and the colonist could not consume it promptly). Set a drug policy* to tell the pawns to take one every 5 days and keep one in the inventory to take as soon as possible, or be cheap, set it to "6 days" and live dangerously.
−
Diseases usually aren't a fatal problem by the time you can get a good supply of [[neutroamine]] and have the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research. For an otherwise healthy colonist: a decent doctor, in a clean hospital, using [[herbal medicine]] or [[medicine]] is usually enough to treat the disease (so long as the colonist rests for the duration). However, this drug can still be helpful.
 
  
−
Penoxycyline can reduce the time spend resting in bed, especially in tropical biomes where disease is prevalent and sleeping sickness is possible. If you don't want to use penoxycyline on every colonist, you can reserve it for your doctors. This prevents your doctors from getting sick when a disease outbreak occurs. It can also be used on sickly pawns for obvious reasons. If you can afford the neutroamine cost (and won't be using it for [[medicine]], [[wake-up]], or [[go-juice]]), then this drug is a net positive.

−
While the in-game description says to ''"Take every five days"'', the effect actually lasts just over than a half-day longer. This gives pawns some leeway, in case colonists don't consume the pills promptly. Set a [[drug policy]] to tell the pawns to take one every 5 days and keep one in the inventory to take as soon as possible, or be cheap, set it to "6 days" and live dangerously.
+
Penoxycyline is not addictive and proper usage does not result in other consequences (however, read next).
  
−
== Gallery ==
+
* Penoxycyline ''can'' contribute to [[overdose]], though at ~.4 the severity of "[[hard drugs]]", increasing severity by 0.08-0.14.  Overdose due to this is uncommon, however, and a pawn would either have to take a few other drugs in combination with penoxycyline, or binge on penoxycyline.

* [[Alpha 17]] - Cost is further reduced from 3 to 2 neutroamine. It also received an overhaul, such that instead of instantly boosting disease immunity to 61%, it now provides true immunity and cannot reactively increase immunity against a disease that is already in progress.
