<p>In a battle with Kagetane, when Rentaro is about to die, he uses the AGV drugs to get superhuman habilities, heal himself, and finally be able to defeat Kagetane. Does this superhuman healing hability he got lasts or is it a one time thing?</p>

Does the AGV drug give permanent or temporary superhuman healing habilities?

It is once off, the effect doesn't last very long.

In the 1st light novel when Sumire gives him the drug it is stated that there are five vials, if it didn't wear off then there would have been no need to give him more than a single vial (or even inject him ahead of time, although there is the minor side effect of the drug turning users into Gastrea)
