IV Drops
Hydration-type treatment used for Room 8 surgery prep; can also extinguish candles during a Death Ritual event without sanity loss.
IV Drops is a hydration-type treatment item in Animal Hospital (Anomaly) used for Dehydration and as a required part of Room 8 surgery prep — it's documented as always being the first treatment given to any Room 8 patient. It also lets you defuse Death Ritual candles without losing sanity if you have it equipped.
IV Drops is a treatment medicine, not a purchasable item — it's given to patients during diagnosis. See the full symptom-to-medicine table for how it fits alongside every other treatment.
