Salsalate

Salsalate is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) primarily used for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. It helps reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation and pain.
