Ambuzol Vaspilatin or Zombrauctus Pendeo Autoinjectors, commercially marketed by Phenotrans as Zombrex, is a controversial over-the-counter drug that is used to treat pending zombification. It is administered in 1.5mg doses every 24 hours, typically via intramuscular injection. It has proven to be effective in delaying zombification in human patients of all ages. It is incapable of preventing zombification in animals. It is a subject of great controversy, as it is seen by many to merely forestall the inevitable.

Isabela Keyes created the drug after escaping the mall in Willamette. Her friend, Frank West, was also infected, and he uses Zombrex while the two of them are researching ways to come up with a complete cure.

In Dead Rising 2: Case West, it's revealed that Isabela had been working to develop a cure. The research notes for it were taken by Phenotrans's director Marian Mallon. The company has refused to allow Isabela to make a cure, or even a synthetic for the drug, for what they believe is humanity's karma, as well as for money.

In Dead Rising 2, There is a variation of Zombrex called "Zombrex XC: Extended Care", which lasts for 24 hours instead of 12.
