Star Trek fans - name one of their drug names that sounds like a real drug.

[Deja Q]

For example, "Ryetalin" sounds an awful lot like "Ritalin". Was the writer of this episode foreshadowing the effects of television on the human mind? :rofl:

1. Definately the Star Trek cure-all drug. Anaprovaline

[Alexander]

2. Lithium.

Okay, they put it in the engines in TOS, but still, lithium is a real drug.

And then there's the off-shoot dilithium, or as my dad once joked, "dilated lithium".

BTW - "Cordrazine", which made McCoy go nuts, sounds like "Cortisone".

:evilgrin:

3. "Anestithene Gas"...

They were always flooding the bridge with it.

Not sure what the real world analog of it would be...

4. I think just general anasthesia

"The most commonly-used agent for inhalational induction is sevoflurane because it causes less irritation than other inhaled gases.

Inhalational anaesthetic
Inhalational anaesthetics are gases or vapours possessing anaesthetic qualities. The agents of significant contemporary interest include the volatile anaesthetics (halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane) and the gases ethylene, nitrous oxide and xenon."
