About Us

The PAPR Coalition’s mission is to advocate for public policy to support access to and choice of appropriate over-the-counter (OTC) pain relief while educating the public about the responsible use of acetaminophen. We will work collaboratively with the FDA, legislators, healthcare providers, consumer and patient organizations to ensure Americans have access to safe and trusted pain relief.
