[edit] And on Voyager...

[edit] Episode: "Ashes To Ashes"

"Doc" uses an inaprovaline compound to help Ensign Lindsay Ballard keed her human appearance when she returns as a Kobali, who progenerate by regenerating/DNA modifying corpses of other species.

[edit] Overuse on Voyager

I've been watching a lot of Voyager lately, and I've noticed Inaprovaline seems to be used almost every other episode, anything goes wrong and the EMH is all "Inaprovaline!!!" as if it's a magic cure-all. Perhaps this is just lazy scriptwriters, but it should be noted that the uses of the drug seem to be extremely diverse. 78.86.160.133 23:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd rather we came up with a list of confirmed uses on the talk page first. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 00:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Here's a list of confirmed uses, from already in the article, in order:

tropolisine intoxication

sedation

support of autonomic responses

support of brain function

injury

shock

cytotoxic shock

space sickness

Based on this alone, I support SennyEight's proposal. Not specifically in relation to VOY, though. SennySix 00:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

A good number of those make sense with this simply being a stimulant, which the article already says. Not really worth mentioning that stimulants have lots of uses, if you ask me. I doubt it is notable that I was prescribed an anti-inflammatory (essentially Ibuprofen, commonly used on headaches) while I had appendicitis, given that it was to reduce inflammation. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 01:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

First of all I'll just mention I'm 78.86.160.133, I hadn't bothered actually logging in since I got a new computer. But anyway, while watching Voyager recently, I have noticed it being used a hell of a lot. I haven't kept track of what every usage was, but I'll try to add to this list when I can. So, so far there's also:

• Used to give a Kobali her former, Human appearance
