no, because people choose to take them
if they’re forced, then yes, it’s eugenics

They are not forced to take it, they can just not take the meth and have children.
I would really like your opinion on children being “forced” to have MMR vaccination in order to attend pre-school? Do you think it’s immoral to take that bodily autonomy away in order to make it safer for all the rest of the children?

no, because MMR vaccines have been proven to be safe, and you are informed that your child must be vaccinated to go school; it’s not like the kid is vaccinated against their knowledge once they get there
birth control pills can have side effects, sometimes very detrimental, and in this hypothetical scenario they’re hidden in the meth, so you don’t even know it’s there

Prescribed with any sort of trickery, skullduggery, or hooliganism? Yes.

Your interpretation presupposes malice and lack of transparency.
Almost anything can be made to look really bad with that attitude.

malice is irrelevant

Absolutely, and like most abhorrent evil the first step is such a positive idea you cant possibly object.
