"Ceretin is a drug used to sharpen attention and provide selective cognitive enhancement." - Cognivia.

  • Homepage: http://www.cognivia.com/products/ceretin/
  • First sold in 1997 (260AC).
  • Manufactured and sold by Cognivia.
  • In 2004 (267AC), licensing was granted for production of generic Ceretin.
  • Acts to stimulate the brain, particularly the hypothalamus, frontal lobes and the hippocampus.
  • Sold as a small red pill in sealed blister packs.
  • Effects last for approximately 24 hours.
  • Often referred to as "Sharp Red", referring to the effect it has on you: it makes you "sharp" - more intelligent.
  • Under continual development to improve effectiveness and lessen side effects.
  • Prohibited in assessment and competitive environments including all tests, exams, sports and tournaments (like the PCAG).
  • The target market is doctors, scientists, programmers, and other workers with mentally challenging jobs.
  • From a social stand point, Ceretin (and other enhancers) play upon the Perplexian ideal of greater mental acuity. It is not enough to simply be smart when one can enhance one's brain and physically become able to think faster.
  • Emailing ceretin (at) cognivia (dot) com reveals the side effects of the drug:

Thank you for your interest in Ceretin. Ceretin is the market's leading wide-spectrum cognitive enhancer and offers significant advances over previous generations and competing products. However, as with all cognitive enhancers, it does have mild side effects. These include possible disorientation, mild synaesthesia, restlessness and agitation. For more information, please contact your doctor.
