Physician's Materia Medica on Heroine
HEROINE
Synthetic alkaloid, a derivative of MORPHINE. A sedative resembling codeine rathor than morphine, but more active than the former. Unlike morphine it stimulates rather than depresses the respiratory center, hence is particularly valuable as a remedy for cough. Does not stupify or constipate like morphine, but must be used with caution where there is a weak heart. Dose, 1-20 to 1-16 gr. three times a day.1
