How can you tell if a person is taking “crystal meth” if he/she has a prescription for Desoxyn?
The “D” in Desoxyn stands for “dextro” which is the Latin word for “right”. If a person is taking street crystal methamphetamine, the racemic mixture is considered “dirty” and will show up as two peaks in a chromatogram (dextro – right; levo – left), one to the right and one to the left. If a person is taking Desoxyn, there will only be a peak to the right present on the chromatogram.
