Vutalamine

Vutalamine, colloquially known as "vue," was an anti-anxiety drug produced and sold by BioTech Industries throughout the galaxy. Vutalamine has been used throughout the galaxy for treating a variety of things, such as psychological illnesses, muscle spasms, and seizures. Vutalamine had been sold throughout the galaxy for at least a century before the Battle of Yavin.

Vutalamine had other effects which made it lucrative to individuals from many different walks of life, including a calming influence which allowed the user to process information clearly and make better decisions, slowing of breathing and circulation, and reducing tremors and steadying limbs. Vutalamine was used by assassins, snipers, and slicers for those effects, which steadied their hands while shooting or steadying nerves in stressful situations.

Despite all of the positive effects of vutalamine in short periods of time, long-term use could cause addiction as well as paranoia, suicidal thoughts and actions, and impairment of memory and judgment. A single dose of vutalamine would last twenty-four hours before wearing off.
