Both of the potions do actually combat the plague just in different ways. If your like me I never take damage but am constantly taking mana potions. Some of the people in the game only take pieros or only take sokolovs (that's based on the fact that some of the more higher ups only have pieros remedy and some only have sokolovs formula in the house, or just about) and get away with not catching the plague. Plus we never find out how much a ration of elixir is but we know it's not 1 bottle = 1 ration. So Corvo is likely taking multiple rations a day and of both formulas. Plus the outsiders mark makes him resistant to it and he may just be naturally resistant (because that is a thing believe it or not). So really I'd say the odds are in his favour for not catching the plague.
