RX-1 GND was printed on both the labels of substance CR 481516-23 42 and on the glue flask in the Medical Station.
Theories
- The meaning is unknown - it could be an identifier of the Dharma Station e.g. assigning #1 to the Medical Station (The Swan was #3, according to the Orientation Film). However, the medication in The Swan is labelled with RX-1 also, albeit minus the GND.
Medical Interpretations
- GND is actually used by the medical profession:
- GND is a vaccine which protects against the pschoactive effects of cocaine.
- GND is a salvage therapy for patients with relapsed Hogkin Lymphoma (a form of cancer)
- Rx is a term for "prescription" as in prescription drugs.
Other Interpretations
- GND is also often used to refer to "ground" - maybe "underground" in this case.
- R is sometimes associated with "resistance" (usually in the field of electronics). This may refer to a resistance to The Illness, since the substance is claimed to be a vaccine.
- RX is a term used for "receive".
