Wolfsbane Potion

A complicated concoction, the use of Wolfsbane Potion was important in the relief of symptoms of lycanthropy. For werewolves desperate to avoid a full transformation during the full moon, Wolfsbane Potion could be taken every day for a week preceding the moon and would allow the drinker to retain their mental, human, faculties following physical transformation. The potion was brewed for Remus Lupin by Severus Snape to enable him to work as a Professor at Hogwarts without endangering his students.
