Excerpt from Useful Drugs, Prepared Under the Direction and Supervision of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association: A List of Drugs Selected to Supply the Demand for a Less Extensive Materia Medica and Especially to Serve as a Basis for the Teaching of Materia Medica and Therapeutics, and for Examinations on These Subjects by State Licensing Boards
The Council holds that heroin has no advantage over mor phin; that it shares every disadvantage of morphin; and that, on the whole, its introduction has been harmful, in that it furnished a specious means on the one hand for avoiding the well founded popular fears of morphin by substituting another habit forming drug.
While heroin undoubtedly accomplishes whatever mor phin accomplishes, and in that sense may be considered as a useful drug, it does not deserve a place in the selected list that is authorized by the Council.
