Methamphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant that is abused recreationally. It can also be prescribed as a stimulant or appetite suppressant. Methamphetamine exists in two different forms: levo-methamphetamine (l-methamphetamine) and dextro-methamphetamine (d-methamphetamine). Each has the same chemical formula, but a slight variation in chemical structure produces different properties for each isomer.
Isomer d-methamphetamine is more stimulating and psychoactive while l-methamphetamine is less central nervous system -active, vasoconstrictive and is available over-the-counter as the active ingredient of the Vick’s inhaler as well. This leads to a higher abuse potential for d-methamphetamine and lower abuse potential for l-methamphetamine. The D/L isomer test will narrow down the potential sources of a methamphetamine positive result.
