A pill to get methamphetamine addicts off their habit will be trialled in eastern Australia.
The two-year N-ICE trial in Wollongong, Geelong and Melbourne is being led by the Curtin University National Drug Research Institute in Western Australia.
Researchers want to know if n-acetyl cysteine, or NAC, can help crystal meth addicts quit.
"NAC helps to reduce cravings by restoring the balance of chemicals in the brain that are involved in craving and drug-seeking," Curtin University Associate Professor Rebecca McKetin told The West Australian on Tuesday.
The trial is being funded by the federal government's National Health and Medical Research Council.
