Amphetamine anti-body discovered

Filed under: drugs - alexei @ 8:35 pm

Michael Owens and others at the Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, University of Arkansas, have found an antibody for amphetamines, which effectively remove the drug from the bloodstream. Crystal meth and ecstasy abuse has been a growing issue, and with no ways to remove the drug from the body, therapies usually focus on treating side-effects. An antibody can be of great help in recovery. However, such a compound would likely find its way to the black market, where it would be used by people who undergo mandatory drug-testing.
