In pharmacology, salsalate, also called salicylsalicylic acid and disalicylic acid, is a medication which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Salsalate is related to acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), but unlike acetylsalicylic acid, salsalate does not irreversibly inhibit cyclooxygenase and thus is not an anti-platelet agent.

Salsalate may reduce the Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.[1]

Drug toxicity

Tinnitus may happen, but is unlikely if the total daily dose is 3 grams or less.[1]
