A medicine is a type of potion that cures the specified effect instead of applying it.

Obtaining

Brewing

Cures are brewed from awkward potions using different elements.‌^{[Bedrock and Education editions only]} These drinks remove the specified effect when drank, and cannot be modified into splash, lingering, extended or enhanced versions.

Potion	Reagent, base	Effect	Notes
Antidote		Cures Poison	Silver detects poison in folklore, and possesses anti-microbial properties.
Elixir		Cures Weakness
Eye Drops		Cures Blindness
Tonic		Cures Nausea	In real life, bismuth subsalicylate is used as a nausea treatment.

Usage

Each type of medicine has an associated effect that it can cure (see § Brewing for details). Players can drink a medicine only if they have the corresponding effect. Drinking the medicine eliminates the effect. Although medicine does not resemble potions, the player still gets the bottle back.
