The Phyongchon Koryo Medicine Pharmaceutical Factory in Phyongchon District, Pyongyang, is a small plant in terms of site area and workforce. But it is well known to the country for producing various efficient Koryo medicines conducive to the promotion of the people’s health.

The factory developed it as a health food the middle-aged and the elderly can take like a snack.
