"Strengthening Brand Competitiveness"

Bukwang Pharmaceutical is strengthening its over-the-counter (OTC) business by maintaining the pharmacy supply price of its antipyretic and analgesic "Tasynol," even as price increases for OTC drugs continue.


On August 3, Bukwang Pharmaceutical announced that it will reinforce the marketing of Tasynol, an acetaminophen-based antipyretic and analgesic, and Tabex Gel, a topical anti-inflammatory analgesic.

Although the retail price of some OTC drugs has recently risen, Bukwang Pharmaceutical has decided to keep the existing pharmacy supply price for Tasynol. The strategy is to use price competitiveness to reduce the burden on both pharmacies and consumers while increasing its market share.


During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bukwang Pharmaceutical continued the supply of acetaminophen by leveraging its own production facilities when a shortage occurred.


In addition, the company will expand marketing for Tabex Gel, its topical anti-inflammatory analgesic.



Bukwang Pharmaceutical plans to strengthen its nationwide pharmacy distribution network through a strategic sales partnership with Shinshin Pharmaceutical.
