Buffout

Highly advanced steroids. While in effect, they increase strength and reflexes. Very addictive.

Buffout is a Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel item.

Fallout 3
Buffout can be very useful, as it gives you some nice Strength and Endurance buffs, in addition to a boost of 60 HP. You shouldn't rely on it too much, however, as it is very addictive, (taking it three to four times in succession will get you hooked) and addiction involves dealing with the precise reverse of the benefits. If you avoid addiction, the use of Buffout still has a major caveat: after about ten minutes, the chem will wear off, and you will lose 60 HP. If you take Buffout, you should avoid a big firefight as much as possible. If it wears off in the middle of a fight, you might find yourself very dead, very quickly when you take the HP loss.
