What is the Name of the Drug That Friar Lawrence Gave to Juliet?
If it ACTUALLY stopped respiration, heart beat and other bodily functions it would THEREBY be fatal. Nobody can live 42 hours without oxygen. But average physicians in past centuries were even less competent and even more superstitious than their modern (also average) counterparts. Death could easily be misdiagnosed. ANY drug that merely REDUCED bodily functions below the level detectable in the most perfunctory examination would have sufficed. Lacking expert knowledge, I can not name any such drug (nor am I certain that I should make its name public if I DID know one). It seems likely, that Shakespeare did not have such information, either. In that sense, the drug is most probably a literary device, but not an implausible one contrary to scientific knowledge at the time. Your question is only 11 hours old, so you may wish to wait for more detailed answers before giving anybody 10 points.

- Friar Lawrence married Romeo and Juliet, this was the first mistake that would lead to their deaths. A bond between them was created through marriage: "For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Till holy church incorporate two in one." (2.6.36-37).None of any of the tragedies would have occurred if Romeo and Juliet were not married. - And if Friar Lawrence had followed the original agreement he made with Romeo: "Sojourn in Mantua ; I'll find out your man, Every good hap to you that chances have. If, in thy wisdom thou canst give no help, Do but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I'll help it presently. Instead he continues to attempt to keep Romeo and Juliet together. It would have been better if Romeo and Juliet had not known Friar Lawrence at all. - He began the catastrophe added to it, and allowed its completion.

What did Juliet in, "Romeo and Juliet" die from? We're being told to make Romeo's suicide note, but he doesn't know how Juliet dies. What was the reason for her fake death?
She dies from stabbing herself in the heart (“O happy dagger! This is thy sheath”). She appears to die by taking a mystery potion supplied by Friar Lawrence for that purpose, the idea being that she should be laid in a tomb whence Romeo could liberate her and they could both run off into the sunset. Unfortunately they forget to tell Romeo that she’s only pretending to be dead, so he kills himself and then she wakes up, finds him dead, and kills herself. Very poor planning. She definitely dies by stabbing herself though.
