APAP

APAP stands for acetaminophen, a common over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer. It’s usually found in medications like Tylenol. APAP works by blocking pain signals in the brain and can help alleviate mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, muscle aches, and toothaches. It’s generally considered safe when taken as directed, but overdosing can cause serious liver damage. It’s important to read labels carefully, especially if you’re taking multiple medications, as many may contain acetaminophen, increasing the risk of overdose. Always consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns or questions about its use.
