According to the Addiction Research Unit at the University at Buffalo, opiates were used extensively for asthma during the late 19th century. Patent medicines, such as Glyco-heroin, Frazer's Anti-asthmatic No. 4 and Vapor-OL Treatment No. 6, were widely available and were specifically marketed to asthma sufferers.
