Heroin was prescribed forreliving a cough and to cure morphine addiction, it was sold between 1897-1904 over the counter until the mid-1900s.
The name Heroin was used, because apparently early drug testers said it made them feel heroic. By 1899, Bayer was producing about a ton of heroin a year, and the drug to other countries including the USA.
After addiction became apparent Bayer withdrew Heroin from its production line.
