Panacea is a gel-based, topically-applied antibiotic.

• Manufacturer: Emrys Industries
• Price: 10 KS per 10 ounce bottle of gel

Panacea was among the first medical products developed by Emrys Industries. Its formula originates with the Emrys Clan itself, having once been a Clan-only remedy that was never sold with the public. The ambition of Seru Emrys, who took over Emrys Industries in YE 28, saw the product formally developed and marketed primarily to Nepleslians. At the time, Seru Emrys was marketing various other products to the newly-independent Nepleslia such as the EM-M1 Enforcer Powersuit; medical technologies like Panacea were also sold to Ohara, homeworld of the Phods, after the Amendment To Treaty With Ohara allowed medical technologies to be imported to the planet.

Panacea was, from the beginning, compatible with NH-22C Yamataian bodies, and was later adapted to Minkan bodies in YE 33.

Panacea is a translucent, sticky antibiotic gel which is completely clear to the naked eye. The typical bottle of Panacea has a cap at the end, and the bottle is squeezed to extrude its contents. The bottle's labeling includes the classic Emrys Industries logo, which began to include the Tamahagane Corporation tagline after Tamagane acquired Emrys in YE 33.

On its own, Panacea is merely an antibiotic gel. It protects an injury site from infection, and the gel keeps some foreign material from entering the site. It can treat bacterial infections generally, though it is not targeted toward any specific strain of infection.

It is possible for the antibiotic gel to capture too much foreign material if the patient being treated is in a dusty or dirty environment. A gel that is too gunked up with foreign matter may become crustlike, or allow that gunk into the wound if it remains dirty for too long. Ingesting Panacea has not been reported to cause side effects in Nepleslians or Minkans, aside from its unpleasant, gummy taste.
