DODDS History
What's in our name
DODDS is one of Canada's oldest patent medicines. It has been synonymous with back-pain relief for more than a century. Sodium salicylate is the active ingredient in DODDS Regular and Extra Strength. Fast-acting and effective, it's one of the most useful drugs in the medicine cabinet for relieving both pain and inflammation. In ancient Greece, the famous physician Hippocrates used a powder from the bark of the willow tree, called salicin, from which sodium salicylate later came.
