Caution
Methyl salicylate is available over-the-counter for topical use as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent. It is rapidly hydrolyzed to salicylic acid, which has analgesic, antipyretic, and antiinflammatory effects. When applied topically, sufficient methyl salicylate is absorbed to provide pain relief.
