Product Name: Sodium Salicylate
CAS Number: 54-21-7
Description
Sodium Salicylate (CAS 54-21-7) is the sodium salt of salicylic acid. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the salicylate family, possessing analgesic (pain-relieving), antipyretic (fever-reducing), and anti-inflammatory properties. While historically significant, its use as a primary systemic anti-inflammatory agent has somewhat decreased in favor of other NSAIDs, but it remains relevant as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in certain formulations and veterinary medicine. It also serves as a pharmaceutical excipient and a useful laboratory reagent. Due to its sensitivity to light, proper storage is important. As a reliable supplier based in Missoula, Montana, we provide high-quality Sodium Salicylate meeting various grade requirements.
