Dong-A Pharmaceutical has introduced a mobile search service that allows users to access safety information about health products via their smartphones. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility for vulnerable groups, including the elderly and people with disabilities.
On June 18, Dong-A Pharmaceutical announced that it has implemented the "Mobile Search Service for Health Products" on its key products, enabling users to verify essential safety information by scanning product barcodes with their smartphones.
This service is part of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's "Food and Drug Regulatory Innovation 2.0" initiative, designed to support consumers who may have difficulty reading product labels, ensuring they can safely use health products.
Users can scan barcodes on the "Drug Safety Korea" website or through a dedicated app to access information such as product names, efficacy, dosage, and precautions. The information is available not only in text but also in audio and sign language video formats. The service has initially been applied to 49 key health products, including the fatigue recovery drink "Bacchus," women's products "Tempo," and the oral rinse "Gargreen."
Dong-A Pharmaceutical is committed to its founding principle that all products should contribute to public health by offering various solutions.
A company representative stated, "It is significant to enable vulnerable groups to easily access product information. We will continuously expand the range of products covered by this service to create an environment where all consumers can use our products with confidence."
