Choline Salicylate + Tannic Acid is a combination used in certain oral medications.
Choline Salicylate is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. This offers relief from pain and reduces swelling in the area of application.
Tannic Acid is an astringent. It interacts with proteins on the surface of the skin or mucosa, forming a protective barrier. This action helps guard irritated tissues, assists in healing, and diminishes inflammation. Additionally, it can help control bleeding and encourage healing by inducing protein precipitation and constricting blood vessels.
