Equanox is a product manufactured by The Zaibatsu Corporation that was advertised on the radio in Grand Theft Auto III. It is a "wonder drug" that, according to Zaibatsu, combats dissatisfaction, lethargy, depression, melancholy, sexual dysfunction and "just about anything"; however, it comes with a long list of side-effects. According to an article from the Liberty Tree, the drug was initially banned by the FDA for causing psychotic behavior in rats and being "synthetically like PCP, only more toxic". It is similar to another Zaibatsu product, Zoom Zoom, that was advertised in Grand Theft Auto 2.

It may be a horse tranquilizer, as it combines the Latin term of 'equus', which means horse, and 'nox', which roughly translates from Latin to 'night'.
