No the medicine was only to sustain his life. No, Itachi could have killed Kabuto from the start if he wanted to and also, Itachi was an Edo Tensei.. how many times do I need to explain that as shown with Madara.. their living counterparts are far stronger than their Edo Tensei forms even with Kabuto and Orochimaru's new usage. Madara was beaten by Hashirama, restrained and about to be sealed.. then once he came back to life, even without eyes he busted right through the seal and was stronger, faster and had more chakra. That is the difference that every Edo would experience coming back to life, Itachi would need to take Sasuke's Mangekyo eyes that he left at mountain's graveyard since his eyes would be in Sasuke though.. therefor not only would Itachi have EMS, he would have full health, no disease and full power all around.
