- Phospho-Energon, often just called Energon, was a "miracle medicine" produced and distributed in Sweden. Through the sales of Phospho-Energon, the emerging Swedish pharmaceutical company Pharmacia (founded in 1911 out of the Elgen pharmacy in central Stockholm) was able to establish itself in the market. With the incomes generated by the Energon sales Pharmacia was able to initiate pharmaceutical research and the production of other medicines, eventually becoming a major actor in the Swedish and international pharmaceutical sectors. The main ingredients of Energon were calf's brain, sugar, and milk. Initially, the drug was sold as a powder to be mixed with liquid, but later pills were produced. The product was said to have a "safe and rapid effect against general debility, lack of appetite, nervous tension, exhaustion, and sleeping problems". The drug was also used against blood deficiency and disturbances in the neural system. Moreover, the advertisement of Pharmacia claimed that consumption of Energon would relieve the user of fear of traffic, through the soothing of the nerves. In early advertisements, Pharmacia claimed that the drug was endorsed by Swedish physicians. Moreover, the company stressed that its production was conducted under the scrutiny of professor . The permit to sell the Phospho-Energon pills in Swedish pharmacies lapsed in 1936. The permits to sell four variations of the Phospho-Energon pills (with arsenic, iron and kola extracts) in Swedish pharmacies lapsed in 1943. The preparation Phospho-Energon with kola contained the following ingredients: Dried cow brain; Dried kola extract; Ferrous tartrate; Calcium pantothenate; Choline; Copper sulphate; Licorice; Nicotinamide; Pyridoxine; Riboflavin; Thiamine (en)
- Phospho-Energon, ibland betecknat enbart Energon, var en svensk "mirakelmedicin" som tillverkades av Pharmacia i början av 1900-talet. Phospho-Energon uppfanns av den belgiska ingenjören C.M. de Kunwald. Efter att Pharmacia grundades 1911, blev Phospho-Energon en av bolagets första produkter och var under lång följd av år dess mest lönsamma produkt. Vinsterna från försäljningen uppges ha möjliggjort för företaget att senare satsa på originalläkemedel baserade på forskning. Phospho-Energon marknadsfördes som ett nervnäringsmedel och en universalmedicin mot trötthet och neurasteni. Medlet framställdes huvudsakligen av kalvhjärna, socker och mjölk, och såldes i pulver- och tablettform. I marknadsföringen framhölls också att preparatet rekommenderades av svenska läkare och att produktionen skedde under tillsyn av professor Karl Albert Vesterberg. Phospho-Energon i den vanliga pillerformen avregistrerades som läkemedel i Sverige år 1936. Övriga varianter av Phospho-Energon, med arsenik, järn, både arsenik och järn, respektive kolaextrakt, avregistrerades 1943. (sv)
