"Fourteen years ago, TAP had 200 employees. Today, the company has grown to more than 3,300 employees. As TAP evolves and grows to meet the needs of customers, the challenge will be to maintain the energy and optimism that makes TAP unique. Ultimately, it is not the size of the company that matters—TAP's success will be measured by how well the company meets the challenge of serving patients. TAP believes that the best way to meet that challenge is to live and work by its mission and the Spirit of TAP.

Throughout TAP's history, its efforts have been focused on developing and bringing innovative treatments to the people who need them. LUPRON INJECTION (leuprolide acetate), TAP's first product, was the first new hormonal therapy for the palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer in 40 years. Prevacid (lansoprazole), a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), quickly became one of the most widely prescribed therapies for acid-related disease in North America. And the focus on innovation continues as the people of TAP work to improve patient convenience with new dosing and packaging advancements, research new indications for existing products, and develop new products in the pipeline." 〔From (the company website's history page ), accessed 2007-05-29〕
