Thiosalicylic acid is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent. It is used (in form of sodium salt) to relieve symptoms of acute gout, painful musculoskeletal conditions, osteoarthritis and rheumatic fever. The drug exerts its action by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Thiosalicylic acid usage is associated with the risk of contact dermatitis.
