Zombrex

  Ambuzol Vaspilatin, commercially marketed by Phenotrans as Zombrex, is a controversial over-the-counter drug that is used to treat pending zombification. It is administered in 1.5mg doses every 24 hours, and has proven to be effective in delaying zombification in human patients of all ages. It is incapable of preventing zombification in animals. It is a subject of great controversy, as it is seen by many to merely forestall the inevitable.

Isabela Keyes created the drug after escaping the mall in Willamette. Her friend, Frank West, was also infected, and it's more than likely that he uses Zombrex, while the two of them are researching ways to come up with a complete cure.

Precautions

 * Zombrex should not be taken with alcohol.
 * Zombrex should not be taken within 24 hours of operating heavy machinery.
 * Zombrex should not be taken by pregnant women.
 * Zombrex overdoses are lethal, and patients should never be administered more than the prescribed amount within a 24-hour period (12 hours in Case Zero).
 * Zombrex is not a cure of zombification - it is a supressor.

Availability
Since the first outbreak known to the public, the Willamette Incident, Zombrex is a recognised drug and is widely sold in many pharmacies, and it is extremely expensive. It is also administered by government healthcare institutes, and is carried by most ambulances. Dick, a survivor in Still Creek, has some Zombrex in stock in his pawnshop. In Dead Rising 2, Zombrex can be found in hidden places, from survivors or buying from pawn shops located in Fortune City, with the price rising in $25,000 increments with each purchase, (starting at $25,000).
 * The first zombrex is found as part of the first mission in the pharmacy your directed to.
 * A case of Zombrex can be found in the underground tunnles near the ladder that leads to the south plaza
 * Another one can be found in the Americana Casino though entering the second floor of a resturant within and makeing some tricky jumps over the lighting.
 * One can be found in the Yucatan Casino, in the very center on top of the Aztec style statue surrounded by slot machies. The Zombrex is in the plate in the statue's hand.
 * Another one can be found backstage on the main stage in the Slot Ranch casino and can be found ontop of some cases.

Trivia

 * Chuck Greene seems to be sponsored by Zombrex, as Zombrex has a sponsor tag on Chuck's racing jacket.
 * During the events of the Still Creek outbreak, Zombrex was to be administered every 12 hours, but around the time of the Fortune City disaster, Zombrex lasts for a full 24 hours instead, the drug having been advanced within the 3 years that pass between both incidents.
 * On the Zombrex poster, the 'Wash weapons after use' heading shows a cricket bat being washed. The cricket bat itself may be a reference to Shaun Of The Dead, where the protagonist uses a cricket bat to fight off zombies.
 * On the Zombrex website, there are videos interviews of the "victims" and how zombrex is used. A phrase, "The gift of life" was used by all 4 people. Significance of this phrase to the storyline is unknown, although it may be it's slogan.
 * In Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Zombrex can be bought from Dick at the Still Creek Pawnshop for $25,000, making the Zombrex the most expensive item to buy in Case Zero.
 * In Case Zero, when bought from the Still Creek Pawn Shop, the photo that is shown resembles a re-colored EpiPen.
 * It is possible in Dead Rising 2 to deface Zombrex posters with the various spray paints, this is also metioned on the Tape it or Die website with a post by Gretchen. [3]
 * In the Outbreak News Broadcast video on the Dead Rising 2 website, it confirms that it was first discovered by Isabela Keyes, one of the main characters of Dead Rising. This also leads to the likely conclusion that Frank West also uses the drug, since he was infected in the mall and escaped with Isabela.
