Potion

Sims are able to drink potions, and in some cases make them. It is a feature present in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3: Generations. Most potions change the life state, personality or mood of a Sim when drunk. In The Sims 2, some potions can be used to revert a life state.

Potions can be through chemistry.

Obedience Trainers, Garden Club members and Witches sell Lycanthropic-B, Plantophic-C and Witchbegone-E potions respectively. The Gypsy Matchmaker sells all of these, as well as Vamprocillin-D and Love Potion number 8.5.

Witches in The Sims 2: Apartment Life and Sims with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set or a SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station can also craft potions.

Medicine & viruses
The white potion made with The "Concoctanation Station" chemistry set and the medicine made with the SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station can cure or cut down the resting time needed to be cured of a sickness, respectively. However, a Sim with low logic skill and/or who is in a bad mood can create a virus instead.
