Sodium salicylate and methenamine is a combination drug formerly used for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Methenamine acts as a urinary antiseptic by releasing formaldehyde in acidic urine, while sodium salicylate was used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. This combination is largely obsolete and is not commonly used or approved for UTI treatment today due to more effective and safer alternatives.
