Sodium salicylate is used primarily to relieve pain and reduce inflammation, targeting conditions associated with discomfort and swelling.

Essential insights

• Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis: Sodium salicylate works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are compounds involved in inflammation and pain.
• Reduction of inflammation: By blocking prostaglandin synthesis, it helps decrease inflammation and swelling in affected tissues.
• Pain relief: This action also provides relief from pain by reducing the inflammatory response that contributes to discomfort.
