Did you know?

If you see the abbreviation “APAP” on the label of a prescription drug, it means the medicine contains acetaminophen. However, not all prescription drugs with acetaminophen will say APAP, so be sure to ask what’s in the medicines you’re prescribed before you take them.

Do not take two products containing the same active ingredient at the same time.
