Sodium sulphate decahydrate is an inorganic salt that is a salt of sodium and sulfuric acid. It is used as a food additive, preservative, and to control the pH of water. Sodium sulfate decahydrate has been shown to be effective for the treatment of diarrhoea caused by infectious diseases such as rotavirus and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. This drug also has inhibitory effects on bacterial growth and may be useful for the prevention or treatment of bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the anions in this compound make it highly reactive, which can result in toxic side effects. However, this drug has not exhibited any toxic side effects at concentrations below 0.5%.

Sodium sulfate decahydrate is used as a laboratory reagent to precipitate protein. It is largely used as filler in powdered home laundry detergents. It facilitates in leveling, reducing negative charges on fibers, thereby allows dye to penetrate evenly. It avoids the corrosion of stainless steel vessels used in dyeing. It is also used as a laxative and effectively replaces the drug paracetamol in the body. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
