Heart Medicine

is an antiviral drug that was created by Future Bulma in Future Trunks' timeline. It is capable of curing the deadly heart virus that Goku contracts during the Androids Saga.
==Overview==
At first, the medicine was seen as pills but later on it was seen as a liquid. When he first gets the Heart Medicine, Goku says the medicine's label is purple, leading him to believe it is grape-flavored, but this has never been confirmed. In a later episode, when Yamcha gives Goku the medicine it appears to be in a yellowish color. In following episodes, it is teal instead.
Once the virus is contracted, a steady supply of the heart medicine can cure the virus in only ten days for a normal Earthling, although Goku was able to recover much faster due to his Saiyan biology. According to Future Trunks, it should take ten days for Goku to fully heal but according to the timeline created in the Perfect Files the entire time that Dr. Gero's creations were terrorizing the planet took place over the course of only a few days and Goku was incapacitated for only a brief period of time in that entire time.
Piccolo had stated that the virus might be contagious and advised Yamcha to take some of the medicine himself, after carrying Goku to Kame House. Yamcha later tells Chi-Chi that they, including Master Roshi should take some the medicine, but Chi-Chi refuses, claiming that he should buy his own even though it wasn't invented yet.
The medicine itself takes time to take effect. As such, if the victim has been in a high stage of infection, they will experience excruciating chest pains for quite some time. Once the medicine begins to take its toll on the virus, the victim will rest easier, having chest pains on and off; until the medicine successfully eradicates the virus.
