Magnesium salicylate is a common analgesic^[1] and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)^[2] used to treat mild to moderate musculoskeletal pain^[3] such as in tendons and muscles.^{[citation needed]} It is also used to treat joint pain like arthritis,^[2]^[3] general back pain,^[4] and headaches.^{[citation needed]}

It is found in a variety of over-the-counter (OTC) medications, most notably the brand Doan's Pills, as an anti-inflammatory, primarily for back-pain relief. Magnesium salicylate can be an effective OTC alternative to prescription NSAIDs, with both anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.^[1]
