Yuhan Corporation delivers 'Antiphramin Sharing Boxes' to 1,400 national merit recipients

Employees of Yuhan Corporation recently engaged in a volunteer activity to assemble "Nara Sarang Antiphramin Sharing Boxes" for national merit recipients. The event saw about 100 employees from the company's headquarters and research center participating in the creation of these care packages.

The "Nara Sarang Antiphramin Sharing Box" initiative began in 2017, driven by feedback indicating a high demand for pain relief patches among elderly national merit recipients. Since 2022, the Korean Pharmacists Association has been involved, providing medication guidance and health consultations during home visits. This year, an agreement with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs has broadened the scope for identifying and delivering support to eligible individuals.

This year's donation will provide boxes to 1,400 low-income national merit recipients. The distribution now includes 1,000 individuals in the Seoul metropolitan area and an additional 400 recipients in Yongin and Cheongju. Since the program's inception, a cumulative total of 8,761 individuals have benefited from the initiative.

Antiphramin, a medicine developed by Yuhan Corporation in 1933, was initially released as an ointment. Its product line has since expanded to include lotions, patches, and cooling gels. A Yuhan Corporation representative stated that the box-making event allowed employees to reflect on the contributions of national merit recipients, and the company plans to continue its support activities in collaboration with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs and the Korean Pharmacists Association.
