"Zürkh" Antibiotic

"Zürkh" Antibiotic is a type of homemade antibiotic in Pathologic 2. As of Day 4, the Haruspex can make them by combining a "Zürkh" Tincture with an infected organ or blood within the Brewery once it has been fixed.

"Zürkh" Antibiotics can be used to reduce Plague infection in either the Haruspex or non-playable characters. In either case, the degree to which it reduces infection depends on which organ was used to make it. If consumed by the Haruspex, it will have additional status effects that are dependent on the organ used. If administered to another character, it is most effective when used on patients with an ailment located in the Blood.

"Zürkh" Antibiotics can be traded to infected Townsfolk, Worms, and Dandy in the Soul-and-a-Half Fortress.

Brewing Times and Effects

 * Note that all of the listed reductions to Infection (Player & NPC) and Health occur relative to those stats' current value rather than their total value, such that neither status bar is fully depleted.
 * * If consumed by the Haruspex, Antibiotics (and Painkillers) brewed with a "Zürkh" Tincture and an Infected Liver will give him a buff for 2 in-game hours, during which time his exhaustion recovery in sleep is improved by 30% (which will reduce exhaustion by 12 additional points over the course of the 2 hours spent sleeping).
