'''Special medicine''' is an exceptional healing item in the {{DQSeries}}. The special medicine usually restores at least 90 or more {{HP}} to a single party member. In games where [[Alchemy]] appears, it can be created by combining two [[strong medicine]]s together.  

Making their debut, the special medicine will restores 90~120 HP to a single party member. It is created by mixing two [[strong medicine]]s in an [[Alchemy Pot]]. Three special medicines can be found in [[treasure chest]]s in the [[Maella Region]], [[Empycchu]], and at [[Marta's Cottage]] after acquiring the [[Ultimate key]]. They can also be commonly dropped by [[Jabberwockee]]s and [[Boss troll]]s. Special medicine is also the first item that Dodgy Dave in [[Pickham]] will request, giving the player 500 gold coins in exchange for the first time, then 400 for subsequent turn-ins. In the Nintendo 3DS version, special medicine can also be found randomly in level 2 blue treasure chests.

The special medicine has the same properties as before, and is again made by mixing two strong medicines in the [[Krak Pot]]. Its sale price has dropped considerably down to a mere 35 gold coins since alchemy works instantly in this game. It can also be refined further into a [[panacea]]. Special medicine can also be dropped by [[Badja]]s and [[Great troll]]s.

In this game, special medicine can be purchased from various item shops and roving emporiums around the world for 70 gold coins each in the postgame and sold for 35 gold. Special medicine can also be found in some barrels at [[Cobblestone|the Last Bastion]], [[Heliodor Castle]], and [[Dundrasil Castle]] during the second act. Some of the soldiers at [[Heliodor Region]] will also give the player special medicine as a gift for defeating monsters before facing the [[Headless Honcho]]. In battle, [[Needler|Malicious needler]]s and [[Electric needler]]s can use special medicine to heal themselves or one of their fellow monsters.

Special medicine can also be dropped by [[Stump grump|Vicious stump chump]]s, [[Bongo drongo|Vicious bongo drongo]]s, [[Orc|Vicious orc]]s, [[Stump grump|Vicious stump grump]]s, [[Tentacular]]s and their malicious counterparts, [[Needler|Malicious needler]]s, [[Electric needler]]s, [[She-slime|Malicious she-slime]]s, and [[Muddy hand|Malicious muddy hand]]s.
