Russian term or phrase: первинтин
Ну, и первинтин еще не в таблице был

I could only find "pervintin" on non-English sites in Google. Can anyone shed any light on this? And is в таблице "on the list"?

It is not a medicine in any official circulation... A derivate of ephedrine. It is normally homemade out of ephedrine containing drugs. In the UK they make it out of ephedrine nasal drops which are availible without prescription. So pervitinum is fairly easy to come buy. Very addictive stimulant.

Pervitin


Explanation:
"Pervitin" is the street name for locally produced methamphetamine in the Czech Republic and nearby areas. It is generally produced from ephedrine. There is some evidence that it is being exported from the Czech Republic to other parts of Europe and Canada

В основном первое употребление наркотиков приходится на возраст до 17 лет. 66,3% опрошенных наркоманов употребляют героин, 35,7% — первинтин. Их средняя доза — 0,8 грамма героина или 2 миллилитра первинтина.

На первом курсе жизнь его уже рвалась пополам. Хотелось чего-то иного, но кто бы сказал, где это иное! И тогда он выбрал то, что легче, – начал с анаши, как большинство. “Единомышленники” нашлись быстро. Дальше – “колеса”, первинтин. Когда родители догадались, они, конечно же, пришли в ужас. Но сложно было отделаться от ощущения: узнай отец с матерью, что, например, их чадо подало декану заявление об уходе, они ужаснулись бы не меньше.
