The Witcher 2 potions

The potions in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings are different from The Witcher. They can no longer be consumed at any time and will last for a far shorter time than before.

To drink a potion, you must first enter the Meditate menu (not available during combat) and and select the Drink Potion option. You can then select up to 3 potions to consume. After exiting the meditation menu, the potions are immediately in effect. They are best to be consumed just before a fight.
