* In the last chapter of Creator/AstridLindgren's ''Literature/PippiInTheSouthSeas'' Pippi gave Tommy and Annika "chililug pills" which she claimed would keep them from becoming adults if they swallowed them in the dark and then recited "Pretty little chililug,/I don't want to get bug."

* The ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'' series has this in two flavors: [[AppliedPhlebotinium phlebotonium]] "antibiotic" gel which is used as an antiseptic, surgical glue, or for instantly healing small laceration and other very minor wounds (the latter property of which is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d to hell and back on it's first appearance); and a phlebotonium serum know as "stabilizer" that increases the patient's vitals instantly upon being injected. The issue of why they don't just put critical patients on a drip of the stuff is {{Hand Wave}}d by stating it "artificially" raises vitals and is actually dangerous to use over prolonger periods.
