A magic bullet is a drug that can precisely target and destroy a specific pathogen or otherwise cure a disease or medical condition without having any side effects.
Even though ACME claimed RunRun is a magic bullet against athlete’s foot, many patients have complained about developing tennis elbow just weeks after starting to use it.
The concept of magic bullets in medicine was developed by the German Paul Ehrlich in the early 20th century. He also developed the first magic bullets against malaria, sleeping sickness, and syphilis. The related term silver bullet is also sometimes used generally to describe miraculous solutions in other fields.
Jako „kouzelná kulka” se označuje lék, který dokáže přesně zaměřit a zničit určitý patogen nebo jinak vyléčit nemoc nebo zdravotní stav, aniž by měl jakékoli vedlejší účinky.
Ačkoli společnost ACME tvrdila, že RunRun je kouzelnou kulkou proti atletické noze, řada pacientů si stěžovala, že se jim dělá tenisový loket pár týdnů poté, co lék začali používat.
Koncept kouzelných kulek v medicíně vyvinul Paul Ehrlich na počátku 20. století. Vyvinul také první kouzelné kulky proti malárii, spavé nemoci a syfilidě. Související termín stříbrná kulka se také používá obecně pro označení zázračných řešení v jiných oblastech.
