The only comparable thing I have heard (and definitely take this one to a pro) is, ironically: Beer.
My maternal gene-donor developed one of these once in the hospital, and the doctor prescribed (prescribed! With a little prescription label and everything!) beer for it. They brought it to her on the meds cart accompanied by much merriment.
But she worked at that hospital, so it may have been the sort of tomfoolery that the medical profession doesn't like the rest of us to know about.
