[Alpha Biz= Reporter Kim Sangjin] Dongkoo Bio Pharmaceutical announced on the 28th that it will face a suspension of manufacturing operations due to a violation of drug laws. The suspension amount is 131.4 billion won, which corresponds to 61.16% of the company's recent sales. The suspension will take effect on September 10.
The suspension details are as follows:
Suspension of manufacturing for the specific formulation (tablets) for 1 month (September 10 to October 9)
Suspension of manufacturing for Glipam 2/500mg tablets for 5 months (September 10 to February 9 of the following year)
