Pharma distributors adjust schedules for July 17 Constitution Day

Ahead of Constitution Day on July 17, restored as a public holiday after 18 years, South Korean pharmaceutical distribution companies are notifying pharmacies of delivery schedule changes. Because each distributor has different order cut‑off times and shipping criteria, pharmacies are advised to verify the revised schedules in advance to prevent order disruptions. According to industry sources on the 9th, most distributors will either shift the July 16 shipment batch to be delivered starting July 18, or move the July 20 shipment batch to begin delivery on July 21. Specific dates may vary by delivery method and region; for example, some areas in the capital region will continue to operate two deliveries per day.
