Doliprane is one of the most iconic pharmaceutical brands in France, originally launched by Rhône-Poulenc in the 1960s. It has become a staple in French households for treating pain and fever. The product is primarily manufactured in France, notably at production sites in Lisieux and Compiègne.

While famously associated with the French company Sanofi, the brand is undergoing a significant transition. Sanofi has reached an agreement to sell a majority stake in Opella, its consumer healthcare business which includes Doliprane, to the American private equity firm CD&R. This move, discussed heavily in 2024 and 2025, marks a shift in the brand's ultimate ownership from a French pharmaceutical giant to a US-based investment firm, although French state investment via Bpifrance is expected to retain a minority share to ensure domestic supply security.
