Sodium salicylate is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. It also acts as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Further, it is used as a phosphor for the detection of vacuum ultraviolet radiation and electrons. It serves as a neurofibromatosis kappa B inhibitor and reducer of oxidative stress. It finds applications as a drug with the function of being antifebrile and anti-rheumatic.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
