Know it is because I am a huge nerd and love this setting.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What does medicine look like in the city? Is it mostly your average pills and over the counter stuff, is there anything that&#039;s injectable (or is that limited to Patho-Gen expertise, if anything)? I did see previous comments about mental health treatment and medicine of the herbal variety (recreational and non) but wanted to check. Full disclosure: it came up in a thread about getting someone pain relievers and I figured I should double check.<br /> |DateAnswered=2025-05-11<br /> |AnswerText=Questions are always welcomed, no worries! And official, legal medicine is along those lines, yes- over the counter pills and ointments of mild-but-tested-and-reliable functionality. Anything that requires injected, or otherwise hits harder would also probably require a prescription- something that the Augmented should be able to get through Patho-Gen, should their health warrant it (they want you all to stay healthy!).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are also unlicensed or &#039;alternative&#039; medicine options available throughout the city. The richer or bougie districts have their health food shops, and their herbal remedies or &#039;superfoods&#039;. They generally have low-to-null efficacy, but are also largely harmless. (And much like general grocers, are also facing shortages. Even the richer districts are noticing the issues with supply.) There&#039;s also the shady options available in the poorer areas, should one want to avoid going through Patho-Gen for a prescription. A number of the medicines here are likely to work, on par with anything you could get with a prescription, but they&#039;re also likely to be more expensive (as anyone doing this probably has their reasons for avoiding the official channels). There&#039;s also the grab bag of cheap and unreliable/unknown efficacy choices for the desperate. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Short version: basic pills in pharmacies/apothecaries yes, injectables require prescriptions (which can be obtained, for characters willing to get them). Otherwise it&#039;s a choice of alternatives.<br /> }}</div>
