Currently, we can break down the most commonly-used medical chems into Basic and Advanced categories:
Basic
Burn - Silver Sulfadiazine
Brute - Styptic Powder
Toxin - Charcoal
Oxygen - Salbutamol(*)
Shock - Saline-Glucose
Advanced
Burn - Synthflesh
Brute - Also Synthflesh
Toxin - Pentetic Acid
Oxygen - Perfluorodecalin(*)
Cardiac - Epinephrine
The problem is that Salbutamol has a much more complex synthesis than any other chem in its category, and Perfluorodecalin is the easiest to make in its category (perhaps tied with Synthflesh). I'd simply like the complexity of Salbutamol's creation have some effect on its effectiveness.
Perfluorodecalin is also a very niche chem with a pretty nasty side-effect that could be dangerous or undesirable in general use. Camphor would be a good substitute for the "Basic" set, with a simple recipe and low effectiveness without drawbacks.
