Medical supplies and health foods from the Haebangsan Chemist’s at the Pyongyang University of Medical Sciences are well known for their remarkable efficacy.

Engaged in the development and production of advanced medicines, the chemist’s has steadily updated its techniques and rolled out nine patented products such as Musk and Bezoar injection, AngungUhwang injection, Antiarthritic Injection with Python, Cerebrolysin injection, Samul injection, two kinds of Chonsal injection, and two health foods like Nutritive capsules for Brain and tea against diabetes to be taken before meal.

The Chonsal injection is popular as it has strong effects on arthritis and neuralgia. Painkillers or hormone preparation the arthritis patients previously tended to rely on were not so effective for absorption and treatment. But the new injection is the cut above the rest. It is prepared by combining chondroitin sodium sulphate, a low-molecular matter that is easily absorbed into bone tissues, with sodium salicylate that has strong pain-killing, febrifugal and anti-inflammatory effects. It is particularly effective in the treatment of rheumatic arthritis, trigeminal neuralgia, intercostal neuralgia and sciatica. Its pharmacological action such as thinning the blood brings about remarkable effects in the prevention of cerebral thrombosis and treatment of its aftereffects.

In addition, the Nutritive capsules for Brain is a health food that is developed by extracting nutritious substances good for brains from insam, Schizandra chininsis and other Koryo medicinal herbs to suit the Korean people’s physical characteristics. For its noticeable brain nutritional effects it won favour of customers as soon as it was developed.

The research group of the chemist’s always seeks to take the lead in the development of advanced medicines.
