The round after it is applied to a merc via clicking it on the merc's item portrait, the affected merc's action points will nearly double for several rounds. Their actions points will also turn blue during this period, and a small lightning bolt will appear next to their portrait, indicating the drug is taking effect. Once the effects wear off, the merc's action points will return to normal, and the merc will experience an adrenaline crash in the form of lowered morale.
