Apap tablets

Apap is a common pharmaceutical abbreviation and trade name for acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol). While many manufacturers use the term APAP in clinical and labeling contexts, it is notably a major brand of pain relief medication in Poland, where it was popularized by the US-based pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers Squibb before being acquired.

In the United States, APAP refers to generic acetaminophen produced by numerous pharmaceutical companies such as Advance Pharmaceutical Inc., Ohm Laboratories, and Richmond Pharmaceuticals. In Europe, specifically Poland, the brand Apap is a leading OTC analgesic. The manufacturing of these tablets occurs globally across several facilities, primarily in the United States, Poland, and India, depending on the specific distributor and regional market. Ownership has transitioned over the decades; for the prominent Polish brand, it is currently held by USP Zdrowie.
