As a hegemony of multiple client species, not all drugs found in the [[Covenant]] can necessarily be traced to only a single one. These formulations were used widely amongst the citizens of the empire, and some continue to evade firm classification in the post-war era. One of the most easily recognizable examples of a shared drug formulation was the [[sealant mesh]], a thin sheet of bronze-colored material that, when properly affixed, formed a partial seal over wounds.<ref name="ch258">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 258''</ref> The most important part of this mesh was a coagulant that would attenuate clotting of the blood. Sealant meshes were staples found in every [[portable aid station]], but were considered a short-term option at best.{{Ref/Reuse|ch258}}

Poisonous substances and bioweapons also existed in the Covenant, and continue to do so among what remains of it. In one notable example of a mass poisoning, in [[2462]], [[Kig-Yar]] adulterated [[Unggoy]] infusions in the lower districts of [[High Charity]] and on ships that they controlled. Affected Unggoy males were sterilized as a result which led to an all-out [[Unggoy Rebellion|rebellion]] against the Covenant.<ref name= "Encyclopedia" >'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''pages 115 and 142''</ref> In [[2556]], a Sangheili terrorist, with the aid of a [[Yonhet]], unleashed a toxic element in [[Sedra City]] in a mass dispersal form. This caused the catastrophic breakdown of DNA in certain humans but did not affect other species in the city. The source of this element was [[Alpha Shard|a piece]] of [[Installation 04]]; it had been created when the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'s engines went supernova on the surface of the ring. In [[2558]], a former Covenant research laboratory on [[Ven III]] became a point of conflict between the [[UNSC]] and a nest of Kig-Yar pirates on the planet. It is possible that a bioweapon used by the UNSC against Kig-Yar there was sourced from the lab present.
