Med-X (Fallout 3)

Med-X is a chem in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Med-X is a highly potent painkiller which, when injected, makes the user impervious to pain to the degree that damage resistance is increased by 25% - this will last for 6 minutes, or 12 minutes with the Chemist perk.

Besides providing the benefits of regular armor, the prototype medic power armor will automatically dispense Med-X every 2.5 hours (game time) if the player's health drops below 33% or if a limb's health drops below 25%. While being administered through the power armor, an addiction to Med-X will not develop.

Behind the scenes
Originally, Med-X was named "morphine" in the game. However, on July 4, 2008, Fallout 3 was refused classification by the OFLC in Australia, thus making the game illegal for sale in the country due to the "realistic visual representations of drugs and their delivery method [bringing] the 'science-fiction' drugs in line with 'real-world' drugs." On September 9, 2008 Bethesda Softworks's vice president of PR and marketing, Peter Hines, described the idea of the Australian version of Fallout 3 as a misconception, and said all versions of Fallout 3 will not include real world drug references. However, the name "morphine" is still used in the Japanese and Czech versions of the game.
