History

Zuetase was conceived as a response to the increasing prevalence of toxicological emergencies, both accidental and intentional. Advancer Enterprises identified a gap in the market for a versatile, fast-acting anti-toxin. Collaborating with toxicologists and emergency medicine specialists, the company initiated a robust R&D program. Clinical trials were conducted under stringent conditions to ensure the enzyme's efficacy across a broad spectrum of toxins. Upon receiving Imperial approval in late YE 45.

Usage

Zuetase operates on a molecular level, binding to toxic particles and rendering them inert. This facilitates their safe excretion via the body's natural waste management systems. The enzyme is effective against a wide array of toxins, including heavy metals, narcotics, and certain venoms, making it an invaluable tool in emergency medical scenarios.

The standard dosage for Zuetase is 2 mg per kilogram of body weight, administered intravenously. For an adult weighing 70 kg, a 140 mg dose would be appropriate. The enzyme is supplied in 10ml vials containing 2000mg of Zuetase, priced at 25 KS per vial. This allows medical professionals to tailor the dosage to the patient's specific toxicological profile.

Side Effects

Though Zuetase is generally well-tolerated, it is not without potential side effects. The most common are mild gastrointestinal disturbances and minor skin rashes. In rare instances, an allergic reaction may occur, necessitating immediate medical intervention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include severe dizziness, difficulty breathing, and facial swelling.

Overdose

An overdose of Zuetase is a serious medical condition, occurring when more than 8 mg per kilogram of body weight is administered. Such excessive dosing can overwhelm the body's natural detoxification pathways, potentially leading to liver or kidney failure. Immediate medical intervention is imperative, often involving hemodialysis or other advanced detoxification techniques to remove the excess enzyme and stabilize the patient.
