Up until the early 1800's tomatoes were thought to be poisonous. A spicy tomato mixture became a health fad in the 30's. It was advertised as being a cure-all for everything. Today we know that tomatoes do contain antioxidants which are beneficial in preventing various cancers, Heart disease and diseases of ageing. The high levels of vitamin C may also boost the immune system and help fight off ailments such as colds.
Ketchup was a Chinese invention and came from fermented fish. It arrived in Britain from Southeast Asia in the late 17 century or early 18th century. It was made of everything but tomatoes. Known as " love apples" the recipe appeared in 1812. The problems with ketchup was how it was preserved to stop spoilage. Benzoate was added and by the 19th century it was seen as harmful to health. Dr. Harvey Washington maintained that the use of these ingredients was harmful. He eventually partnered with Henry J. Heinz who began production of ketchup in 1876. Heinz developed a recipe that used red ripe tomatoes and by 1905 he had sold 5 million bottles of ketchup. Americans now purchase 10 billion ounces of ketchup annually which means each American has roughly 3 bottles per person per year. So, to answer your question "no" wasn't sold as a medicine, in fact, as you can see it was the opposite.

I like this question it looks like you are as interested to learn about history as I am. As far as I know the term Ketchup means a sauce, a vinegary one. Two of the oldest ketchups in history is Mushroom ketchup and walnut ketchup. The British always called it " Tomato Ketchup" due to the base is tomatoes.

For a while tomato extract was thought to have many healing principles (which isn't too far off since tomatoes are so darn good for you!). After looking around for a little while I could only find rumors and not so creditable looking sources linking ketchup to being used for medicinal reasons in war. I do know that ketchup has been a part of the provisions for many military divisions because of its high antioxidant count and ability to cover up really foul tasting foods.
"ketchup" is masculine in French, "le ketchup". Examples: "Tu as du ketchup sur la joue." = "You have ketchup on the cheek." "Passe-moi le ketchup." = "Pass me the ketchup." "la bouteille de ketchup" = "the ketchup bottle"
"Catsup" is used primarily in the southern states in the USA, with "ketchup" being used almost exclusively in the rest of the country and through the world.
