Hello,

Yes, it will do that. In most people those would be due increased muscle tone which is why methamphetamine addicts can lose teeth.

But in dialysis patients, it can also change levels of potassium and other ions and is incredibly dangerous.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
