[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Medytox is maintaining its lower limit price following the news of the cancellation of the approval for its main product.


At 3:19 PM on the 20th, Medytox was traded at 133,700 KRW, down 30% (lower limit) from the previous session.


On this day, after the news that on the 17th the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety had issued a manufacturing and sales suspension order for its main product, the botulinum toxin preparation (Medytoxine Injection), the stock immediately hit the lower limit price after trading began. The Korea Exchange suspended trading for 30 minutes after the regular market opened.


In response, Medytox stated that there are no issues with the safety and efficacy of the product and filed a request for suspension of execution and a lawsuit to cancel the order at the Daejeon District Court.



Meanwhile, the exchange reportedly judged that Medytoxine Injection is not subject to delisting. This judgment was based on the expectation that sales can be generated through other products besides Medytoxine Injection.
