Is it true Adolf Hitler developed Methadone for one of his Henchmen?
NO! This is a wives tale and part of the stigma and prejudice that surrounds this life-saving medicine. Hitler didn't develop anything. But, during WWII, German scientists developed Dolophine, the precurser to methadone, as a response to the Allies having cut off all sources of opiates to the Axis powers. They needed something to relieve the pain of wounded German soldiers, and this was the result. But "Hitler and henchmen" have nothing to do with it.
Can you take penicillin if you are on methadone?
Yes, amoxicillin is understood to be safe to use with methadone (dolophine), but ALWAYS consult your physician and your pharmacist before taking any kind of prescription medication(s).===An important side note for methadone managed patients in regard to the concomitant use of a different antibiotic medication, ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and methadone:The concomitant use of methadone and ciprofloxacin is highly discouraged due to the increased risk of adverse effects of methadone (equating to methadone overdose).Reason:Inhibition of the enzymes that metabolize methadone (dolophine), i.e., CYP3A4 and/or CYP1A2 -- Ref: Eap et al. 2002; Herrlin et al. 2000.
Did Hitlers soldiers use meth?
This is an urban myth.Methadone was, indeed, discovered in Germany - in the late 1930's. Two scientists, Max Bockmühl and Gustav Ehrhart, working for the large German chemicals conglomerate IG Farberindustrie at Hoechst-Am-Main, were exploring synthetic (man-made) compounds with a structure similar to Dolantin ®. This was an opioid analgesic discovered earlier at the same company (and later marketed as Pethidine ®, Demerol ®, and other brands).There is no evidence that the discovery of methadone was specifically part of a Nazi-ordered attempt to replace opium supplies disrupted by the war. Methadone was first called "Hoechst 10820" and Bockmühl and Ehrhart filed a patent application in September 1941. The agent was later named Polamidon ® in Germany, and much later generically called methadone). Methadone was not effectively used as an analgesic during the war years, allegedly because the very high initial doses typically administered at that time produced intolerable side effects.As part of the "spoils of war," the formula for Polamidon became available to other countries worldwide and was further tested and used for analgesia. It soon became generically known as methadone - or, "methadon" in some early publications - and was first manufactured in the United States by Mallinckrodt, Inc. Later, trade names in the U.S. included: Methadose ®* and Dolophine ®**. Many other brands of methadone have been developed in other countries through the years.There is no truth to the myth that one of the early methadone brands - Dolophine - was named in honor of Adolf Hitler (or that the drug was called "Adolophine" in Germany, with the "A" being dropped after the war). In fact, the name, Dolophine, was originated at Eli Lilly & Co. in the U.S. long after the war, and was probably derived from the French dolor (pain) and fin (end). Although, some have claimed the "Dol-" portion came from dol, which is a unit measure of pain (derived from dolor), and "-ophine" was derived from morphine.

Is methadome synthetic heroine?
Morphine describes a lot of different things. If you're talking about natural morphine extracted from opium, from somniferum poppys, your answer is no. If you mean morphine sulfate (prescription morphine pills), you would be half-right, because it's a semi-synthetic opioid. To the best if my knowlege the closest thing to a fully synthetic morphine would be dolophine (methadone).
