Usage

First Aid

Main article: First Aid

Antibiotics are drugs available in Project Zomboid for the treatment of regular infections which arise from having an open wound that hasn't been treated appropriately (not to be confused with Zombification, which is always fatal).

Antibiotics halve the strength of a current infection to help it heal.

Antibiotics do nothing with the treatment of colds and zombification.

Distribution

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.
