Having it as an instant venom hazard along the lines of the Poison treasure cards in 'Frozen Horror' would be better in my opinion, but a Healing potion is certainly better than an Elixir of life if we want to keep this in the spirit the quest was written.
My only issue with it as written would be - how does Zargon know when the Hero uses that exact one?
He/she wouldn't need to. The event would occur instantly. e.g. "A search for treasure reveals a small bottle of what appears to be an elixir with restorative properties. You gulp it down eagerly, only to realize to your horror that you've ingested venom! lose 2 Body Points.
If the Hero didn't need to restore BP yet, he would hold on to it.
