6kv Chapter 39: Side Effects
Chapter 39: Side Effects
"Some diseases and plagues spread by evil cultists and undead races have extremely high mortality rates! This penicillin can also be added to the [Vitality Potion] that our association previously concocted!"
A white-bearded pharmacist suddenly came up with a new suggestion.
"Great idea! For the final product, in addition to the [Vitality Potion], please have wood-element mages cast a [Life Growth] blessing spell on the potion to further enhance its effects!"
Philip said approvingly.
After another round of adjustments, the improved penicillin production plan was finally finalized.
Philip recorded all of this, exclaiming, "The King's fire of wisdom is burning brightly on the fuel of magic and alchemy! Let us anticipate the widespread availability and use of anesthetics and penicillin!"
................
Li Ang, back at the palace, soon received two "Improvement Manuals" delivered by Philip's messengers!
The document is filled with various alchemy formulas, detailed production and refining steps, and the required raw materials.
On the last page of the two "Improvement Manuals", Philip also pasted two of the latest finished products - a bag of "Mafeisan" and a bottle of "Penicillin"!
Philip even thoughtfully included "Instructions for Use"!
Medicine: Mafeisan (Enchanted)
Drug effects: potent anesthesia, deep analgesia
剂量：10g—60g/天（依据服用者个人实力决定，1-6阶用量，1阶准斗士或者见习法师10g，2阶初级斗士或者初级法师20g，依此类推！）
Usage: Take with strong liquor produced by the Grey Dwarves, heat and boil, stir and drink; if Grey Dwarves do not produce strong liquor, ordinary distillery liquor can be heated, but the effect will be weaker.
Note: This medicine is not effective for seventh-tier powerhouses as there is no experimental data available; for ordinary people without cultivation, the daily dosage should not exceed 3g.
Side effects: Overdose may cause hallucinations, prolonged coma, or even death.
............
Philip also provided instructions regarding the use of penicillin:
Medicine: Penicillin (Enchanted)
Medicinal effects: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-infective.
剂量：100ml—600ml/天（依据注射者个人实力决定，1-6阶用量，1阶准斗士或者见习法师100ml，2阶初级斗士或者初级法师200ml，依此类推！）
Usage: Direct injection
Note: For seventh-tier powerhouses, the medicine is currently ineffective and there is no experimental data available; for ordinary people without cultivation, the daily dosage should not exceed 30ml.
Side effects: Overdose may cause symptoms such as diarrhea, rash, and vomiting.
These brief explanations are not mere conjecture, but rather valuable data obtained by the Alchemists' Association through a large number of rigorous (though cruel) live experiments in a very short period of time.
"The side effects of the anesthetic are mostly accurate! However, the side effects of penicillin have been greatly underestimated! Philip's side still lacks some experimental research!"
Li Ang was acutely aware that penicillin was a very powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic. Although it was effective, it could be extremely harmful to a very small number of people with allergies.
In my previous life on Earth, there were many medical accidents where doctors or nurses forgot to perform a penicillin skin test on patients and injected them directly with penicillin, resulting in the patients' deaths.
Such cases are not uncommon around the world.
Of course, Li Ang also expressed his understanding. After all, he had given Philip such a short time, and the fact that he was able to successfully improve and adapt the alchemy to the world of swords and magic was already extraordinary!
"Mike, Minister of Propaganda and Works - Philip, has an audience!"
Li Ang gave the order.
Philip, who had always been detached from worldly affairs and focused only on "alchemy" and "truth and knowledge," was extremely excited after being summoned.
This was, in fact, his first time meeting King Leon.
Philip was unusually flustered, ordering his servants to help him bathe and change clothes three or four times, and then having his maid carefully select the most dignified and impeccably tailored set of new official robes.
Philip arrived at the palace hall with great respect.
"Minister of Works Philip greets Your Majesty! Long live the King!"
Philip knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
On the throne, Li Ang's gaze fell upon this genius alchemist, and the system also performed a simple scan of his entire data:
Name: Philip
Position: Minister of Works in the Kingdom of Grant, President of the Alchemists' Association
Strength: High-level mage
Loyalty: 90 points
Note: Meets the basic requirements for job change - [Mechanical Priest].
"My goodness, a loyalty level of 90 points on the first meeting? That's impressive!"
Li Ang was startled.
Of course, what Li Ang didn't know was that Philip's high level of loyalty was mainly due to the notes on [Mafeisan] and [Penicillin] that Li Ang had produced.
A genius like Philip, obsessed with alchemy, does not worship power but pursues "knowledge and truth"!
Philip worships whoever can provide "knowledge and truth"!
"Sir Philip, I have carefully reviewed your proposed improvements, and they are very effective."
Li Ang's voice was full of approval.
Philip dared not take credit for himself, repeatedly saying, "It's all thanks to Your Majesty's guidance! Without Your Majesty's notes pointing the way, even with all my intellect, I would never have been able to even touch the threshold of [anesthetic] and [penicillin]!!"
In scientific exploration, that seemingly thin layer of paper, without the support of giants, would be impossible for ordinary people to pierce even after thousands of generations.
Li Ang pointed to the bottle of penicillin!
"This instruction manual is already quite valuable. But the potential risks of penicillin are far more serious than what you've written."
"A skin test (a small amount injected into the skin) must be performed before each use to observe the patient's condition. Otherwise, if a person with a specific allergic reaction is encountered, their life could be in danger in an instant."
Li Ang reminded him.
Philip was startled: "Your Majesty, thank you for reminding me! It was my oversight! I must hurry back to conduct live experiments and refine the instructions!"
Li Ang waved his hand, offering a thoughtful reminder: "After you return, you can secretly refine the experimental data. However, the section on publicly disclosed side effects doesn't need to be so detailed for now. The complete properties of the penicillin, especially the crucial preliminary 'skin test,' must be temporarily classified as top secret."
Penicillin plays a vital role in daily life and even in war, saving the lives of countless wounded soldiers.
With hundreds of people involved in Philip's improvement process, it's hard not to guarantee that someone won't steal some of the penicillin formula and sell it to aliens or evil people in the future.
By keeping the prerequisite for using penicillin, namely the skin test, a secret for the time being, Li Ang believes it might have a surprising effect in the future.
Philip nodded: "Very well, Your Majesty! As you wish, I will keep the entire process of refining the penicillin solution a secret!"
"Philip, I summoned you here because of a most urgent matter! Now that the improved versions of [Mafeisan] and [Penicillin] have been successfully produced, you must immediately organize reliable manpower to produce one thousand doses of each of these two medicines within two days!"
"Remember, send them all to the royal palace! And keep the whole process a secret!"
Li Ang solemnly instructed.
The organ modification of the remaining reserve knights is just waiting for the supply of these two drugs to arrive before it can start again!
