Tretonin

Tretonin is a fictional drug in the television series Stargate SG-1, extracted from Goa'uld symbiotes. The drug reproduces the symbiote's ability to almost magically heal its host. Unfortunately, also emulating the effects of a symbiote, the drug suppresses the user's immune system. This effectively makes a tretonin user dependent on the drug for the rest of his or her life. However the Tok'ra were able to develope a cure which restored the user's original immune system.

The drug was developed by the Pangarans as a miracle drug to cure any disease. The Pangarans got the Goa'uld symbiotes from the originator of the Tok'ra resistance movement, Egeria.

Jaffa can use a variant on the drug, developed by the Tok'ra, in place of being host to an immature Goa'uld symbiote.
