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. I never said the medicine was for more than sustaining life, I just said it was needed and should be included in the above topic. His being able to kill Kabuto from the start is debatable but lets move on. Living counterparts are stronger and faster this is true however the chakra thing is absurd. Edo tensei have infinite chakra. You can't go from infinite to finite and say you have more chakra in finite form. Also as for your comment on Itachi coming back, the manga clearly showed that Itachi wasn't powerful enough(and neither was Nagato for that matter) to overcome being called back only Madara has shown this.
