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.

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.

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.

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.
  
Similarly, it does '''nothing''' to prevent or treat any other disease or ailment beyond the three listed above.  
+
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, 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 a drug that prevents users from catching malaria, sleeping sickness, and plague

Acquisition[edit]

Penoxycylines can be crafted at a drug lab once the penoxycyline production research project has been completed. Each requires Neutroamine 2 Neutroamine and 600 ticks (10 secs) of work modified by the drug synthesis speed of the crafter. Note that Neutroamine can only be obtained from traders or found in cargo pods.

It can also be bought from orbital, Outlander, or Empire Content added by the Royalty DLC traders, as well as Outlander and Empire faction bases.

Summary[edit]

Penoxycyline completely prevents users from catching any of the following diseases while its "high" is active:

Despite the wording of the description, it does nothing to prevent or treat infections, or any other diseases or ailments besides the three above.

When the 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.

Penoxycyline is not addictive and has no direct side effects. Penoxycyline can contribute to overdoses, 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.

Analysis[edit]

Diseases usually aren't a fatal problem by the time you can get a good supply of neutroamine and have the Penoxycyline production 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.
