Med nog represented a therapeutic drink suitable for humans, designed to facilitate the recovery process from wounds. During 5 BBY, Luthen Rael, who headed the rebel network, provided Cassian Andor, an individual on the run from the Galactic Empire, with a canteen filled with med nog. This occurred after Andor sustained an injury from a blaster during the Ambush on Ferrix. Rael instructed Andor to consume only a single sip, which Andor followed before returning the canteen.
The beverage med nog was featured in the episode titled "Aldhani", which is the fourth episode of the first season of the TV show Andor. Its initial broadcast took place on September 28, 2022.
