Brief Answer:
No specific established way but you can use citrus fruit juice

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Dilated pupils after 3 days of meth intake suggests you have still lots of meth in your circulation. If other behavioral or psychological symptoms are there or you are feeling any other physical discomfort, better to consult doctor to prevent more side effects.

If no other problem and you feel that you can go to work without any discomfort it is good.

There is no specific way to reverse dilated pupil accept eye drops for constriction for pupil but that is not indicated in this situation and for that you need to consult ophthalmologist also.

However meth is excreted in urine and excretion is highly influenced by pH of urine. Acidic urine will excrete meth faster. Fast clearing of meth from your system can reveres dilation faster.

So any of citrus fruit juice like oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, cranberry, tangerines and pomelo will help to excrete meth faster and reverse pupil dilatation.

Hope I have answered your query, i will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Brief Answer:
you need antibiotic/anti fungal medicines with anti inflammatory drugs

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for follow up.

Sores on limbs after iv use of meth is very common. First step is prevention. Please do not use meth further.
Chances are there that sores might have infected or may get infected and causing discomfort.
For relief you can take over the counter diclofenac or ibuprofen with Serratiopeptidase after food 2-3 times a day.

To prevent/treat infection you need antifungal medicine like fluconazole and/or antibiotic amoxycilin-clavulanic acid and for that your sores need to be examined by doctor. After evaluation doctor can prescribe you medicines.

Hope this answers your query.

Take care.
