Methamphetamine is a secondary amine related to amphetamine and exists as stereoisomeric free-base and salt forms. The S-enantiomer is described as (2S)-N-methyl-1-phenylpropan-2-amine, with molecular formula C10H15N and molecular weight 149.23 g/mol. Pharmacologically, it produces central nervous system stimulation and increased sympathetic activity. Methamphetamine hydrochloride tablets are an FDA-labeled oral prescription formulation, while nonmedical forms may appear as powders, tablets, or crystalline material.

FDA labeling describes rapid gastrointestinal absorption, hepatic metabolism through aromatic hydroxylation, N-dealkylation, and deamination, and primarily urinary excretion. The same labeling identifies methamphetamine hydrochloride tablets containing 5 mg per tablet and lists oral administration. DEA information documents nonmedical exposure routes including smoking, intranasal use, and injection; these routes are recorded here only as neutral reference information and not as instructions. Methamphetamine has a high potential for abuse and dependence, and high exposures are associated with serious cardiovascular, neurologic, and thermoregulatory toxicity.

The parent free base and methamphetamine hydrochloride are distinct chemical forms. The FDA-labeled prescription product is methamphetamine hydrochloride. Methamphetamine, its salts, isomers, and salts of its isomers are listed as Schedule II controlled substances in the United States. The FDA label used for this record was revised in January 2017 and states that it may not be the latest approved labeling.
