Withdrawal of Bug juice Distributed in Pharmacies

The Korea Pharmaceutical Association has requested members to stamp out the free supply of drinks. It is felt that the free supply of bug juice damages the image of the pharmacy and violates the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act as an act of consumer inciting behavior.

Therefore, the Korea Pharmaceutical Association has decided to add bug juice to the list of items of the Center for Bad and Unfair Medicines, and to strengthen the monitoring of products that continue to be distributed despite these efforts.
