Fixer

A Med-Tek specialty that all but cemented their hold on the pharmaceutical industry, especially with the growing opioid crisis. This extremely valuable drug completely removes the side effects of withdrawal and cleanses your system. It was first used to keep members of the military functioning despite the other drugs they were on; but it also had another application, suppressing immune responses to foreign hardware. When cybernetics burst onto the worldwide scene, demand for the already valuable drug quadrupled. Manticore was among the first to sign exclusivity deals with Med-Tek as their customers used them to keep their bodies from rejecting their cybernetic implants. While liquid versions exist, the most common kind of Fixer is the small box of tablets that you punch out of a retractible card.
In the wasteland, the risk of addiction to some substances is well worth it in the minds of scavengers. Despite the debilitating effects in other parts of their lives, the right dose at the right time can be the difference between life and death. Fixer can tip the scales back in their favor, and with no risk of addiction itself, it can be more valuable than gold to the right person.

Effects

When you take a dose of fixer, remove any addictions you currently have and any negative effects imposed by cybernetic implants. The fog clears and you come back to painful sobriety within ten minutes of taking a pill. Your body sweats out all your toxins and your bowels clean themselves out. The experience is extremely unpleasant and often results in dehydration.
