Magnesium Salicylate

Description

What is Magnesium Salicylate?

Magnesium Salicylate is a common analgesic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat mild to moderate muscular pain. Bulk magnesium salicylate is also used to treat headaches, general back pain, and certain joint pains like arthritis.

Magnesium salicylates is found in a variety of over-the-counter (OTC) medications as an anti-inflammatory, primarily for back-pain relief. Magnesium Salicylate can be an effective OTC alternative to prescription NSAIDs, with both anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.

Disalicylic Acid Magnesium Salt Usage And Synthesis

Magnesium salicylate

Trade name	Generic and brand names: magnesium salicylate, oral; Backache Maximum Strength Relief; DeWitt’s Backache; Doan’s Extra Strength; Percogesic Maximum Strength Backache Relief (There may be other brand names for this medicine.)
Uses	Magnesium salicylate is used to relieve pain from various conditions. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from arthritis. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Magnesium salicylates is used to treat mild to moderate pain. It is also used to treat the pain and swelling of arthritis.
Mechanism of action	Most NSAIDs act as nonselective inhibitors of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), inhibiting both the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) isoenzymes. COX catalyzes the formation of prostaglandins and thromboxane from arachidonic acid (itself derived from the cellular phospholipid bilayer by phospholipase A2). Prostaglandins act (among other things) as messenger molecules in the process of inflammation.
Clinical use	rheumatoid arthritis joint damage causing pain and loss of function inflammation of the lining of a joint inflammation of the sac surrounding the joint – bursitis fever pain rheumatic fever joint inflammatory disease in children and young adults inflammation of a tendon inflammation of the covering of a tendon
