Dong-A Pharm, Hanmi and Others Mark Earth Day, Awards and Product Verification Efforts

Dong-A Pharm’s feminine care brand Tempo said April 22 it teamed with global coworking operator JustCo to run an eco-friendly giving campaign for Earth Day.

The campaign ran through April 22 for the tenant community at six JustCo locations in Seoul.

Tempo said it designed the event to help people practice resource circulation in everyday life, focusing on working women and promoting consumption that considers the environment and ethics. Participants who donated unused items received Tempo’s vegan-certified “Natural Cotton Tampon Light.”

Tempo said the product uses an applicator that is 2 millimeters slimmer than earlier versions and is made with 100% organic cotton for the absorbent core, cover and removal string. It has also received certification from The Vegan Society in the U.K.
 

Hanmi Pharmaceutical said April 22 that its neutropenia treatment Rolontis, marketed in the United States as Rolvedon, has won the IR52 Jang Young-sil Award.

The award ceremony was held April 14 at the Peace & Park Convention in Seoul’s Yongsan district. Choi In-young, head of Hanmi Pharmaceutical’s R&D Center, and executives Bae Seong-min and Kim Dae-jin, among researchers involved in developing Rolontis, attended and received a certificate and trophy.

Rolontis is a long-acting biologic used to prevent and treat severe neutropenia in patients undergoing chemotherapy. Hanmi said it applied its “Lapscovery” platform technology to extend the drug’s effect and dosing interval.

Based on those results, the drug was newly listed in the 2022 NCCN guidelines as an option for preventing and treating neutropenia, about 20 years after a new option was added, the company said.

“Our focus was on helping patients continue chemotherapy through to the end,” Choi said. “Building on Hanmi’s philosophy, we will further advance our R&D capabilities and devote ourselves to developing innovative new drugs.”
 

PharmaResearch said April 22 it released a “Rejuran Authenticity Verification Guide” video with Rejuran global ambassador Kim Se-jeong to help consumers check whether a product is genuine before a procedure.

The company said that as the medical aesthetics market expands, consumer confusion has grown due to similar products, increasing the need for clear verification steps.

The video outlines a three-step process: confirming the phrase “DOT® DNA Optimizing Technology” on the product box, checking information by scanning a QR code, and using an NFC tag for authentication.

PharmaResearch said the guide is intended to help consumers directly confirm procedure steps and product information.
