Medical Items

Versioning - Up-to-date Current game version: 0.12.0.3

Medical Items are comprised of different compounds and substances both helpful and harmful, that the crew can craft at a Medical Fabricator, buy, loot, or deconstruct from certain Plants.

Most medical items can be used outside of the Health GUI. By equipping the item and then holding the "Aim" keybind ( by default) and pressing the "Shoot" keybind ( by default), the player's character will swing the syringe and inject its effects to anything it hits, Creature or human. The Syringe Gun can also be used if a chemical needs to be injected from a distance. However, regardless of the user's Medical skill, the "unskilled" effects (red values below) will be applied when using the Syringe Gun, and use the entire syringe in one shot. There are a few exceptions (purple values below).

Some more basic chemicals, as well as regular medical items, aren't injectable and must be used through the Health GUI, pressing the "Health" keybind (H by default) on a player or themselves opens the Health GUI. Then any medical item can be drag and dropped onto a limb or the drop circle.

List of Medical Items and Chemicals

The values below represent affliction strength reduction, not to be mistaken with a vitality restoration. Reducing an affliction's strength by any given amount using chemicals may not translate into that amount being restored to the character's vitality.

An affliction's strength and its effect on vitality are two interdependent values in Barotrauma, and the latter may be scaled to vitality, which varies per Job.

Antidotes

Chemicals required to cure Poison Afflictions.

Stabilozine can also be used to treat poisons, except Paralysis.

Deconstructing any of antidotes doesn't give back corresponding poison, but Stabilozine (and other components) are given back fully.

Except for Calyxanide and Anaparalyzant, failure values are ommited in this table because players can never have a medical skill lower than 5 in normal gameplay.
