Shinbaro, introduced in 2011 as Korea's fourth domestically developed natural medicine, is used for anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and osteoarthritis treatment. In 2018, Daewon Pharmaceutical entered into a co-promotion agreement with GC Green Cross and has since been responsible for domestic distribution, marketing, and sales. In 2024, the company signed an asset transfer agreement to acquire the related assets, including the product manufacturing and sales license.


Since January 2025, Daewon Pharmaceutical has been operating Shinbaro as its own product. With the recent move to in-house production, the company is now directly responsible for manufacturing as well.


To facilitate the transition to in-house production, Daewon Pharmaceutical invested approximately 5 billion won to expand its production facilities. The company plans to respond to market demand by linking production and sales, while also aiming to enhance quality control and operational efficiency to ensure stable product supply.



A representative from Daewon Pharmaceutical stated, "With in-house production, we have established an autonomous system that covers every stage from production to sales for Shinbaro. Through securing a stable supply chain and strengthening product competitiveness, we aim to make Shinbaro a key item in the musculoskeletal treatment market."
