+ | * [[Malaria]] | ||
+ | * [[Plague]] | ||
+ | * [[Sleeping sickness]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Note:''' 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. Penoxycyline also does nothing to treat pre-existing diseases, including dormant diseases (diseases which have been acquired but have not yet presented symptoms). | ||

− | Penoxycyline | + | Administering Penoxycyline provides true immunity against [[malaria]], [[plague]], and [[sleeping sickness]] over its ~5.556 day duration, preventing the protected pawn from catching the protected diseases. When the [[Events#Disease (Type)|Disease event]] occurs, pawns that were protected from getting the disease by penoxycyline will be specifically noted as such. |

− | + | 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 will still allow the disease to take its course. | |
− | + | Similarly, it does '''nothing''' to prevent or treat any other disease or ailment beyond the three listed above. | |
− | |||
− | + | While the in-game description says to ''"Take every five days"'', the effect actually lasts just over than a half-day longer, giving colonists some leeway to take the pills without acquiring a disease during the downtime of the effect as would happen 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. | |
− | + | Penoxycyline is not addictive and has no direct side effects. However Penoxycyline ''can'' contribute to [[overdose]]s, increasing severity by 0.08-0.14 per dose consumed. In comparison, [[hard drugs]] increase severity by 0.18-0.35. Overdose due to Penoxycyline are uncommon, as a pawn would have to consume a lot of it, however, it can increase the risk to overdoses when combined with hard drugs. | |

− | * | + | * 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. |
