What Drug Choline Salicylate?

What is choline salicylate for?

Choline Salicylate is a class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This medication is often used to reduce pain and inflammation from a variety of conditions, such as headaches, muscle aches, toothaches, menstrual pain, and mild arthritis.

The dosage is always given based on your health condition and how you respond to therapy. To reduce the risk of stomach bleeding and other side effects, use the lowest possible dose of the effective drug.
