Not sure about XCOM2, but in the original XCOM each dose of medication cost 10 
time units and the effects were cumulative.  Each shot of healing (blue) 
healed one critical wound.  Each stimulant (orange) had a chance of reviving 
the soldier and could possibly restore lost health.  Each dose of pain killer 
(green) restored moral up to the amount of health that had been lost.  (My 
strategy guide explains the last one by saying: "If a soldier has lost 10 
points of health, each dose of painkiller increases the soldeir's morale from 
1 to 10 points") I would think it works the same way in TFTD as they used the 
same engine.

No clue on the bio-drones.
