Introducing BICHEDAM's key pipelines,
R&D teams, and their achievements

The Beginning of Bichedam and Innovation

Bichdam Co., Ltd. was founded based on the innovative research of CEO Ho-bin Moon.
During the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Public Resource Development Project for Korean Medicine Treatment Technologies (2017–2019), the blood pressure-lowering effects of the candidate substance BCD101 were confirmed. A patent application for BCD101 was successfully filed in 2019 (Application No. 10-2019-0157657), followed by in-depth research on its key components.

Building on these pioneering achievements, Bichedam Co., Ltd. was officially established in April 2022 with a bold vision: to develop the world’s first medication for nocturnal leg cramps.

Development Need

Ⅰ. NLC is common, affecting approximately 40% of adults aged 40 and older, with a high prevalence in the elderly population.

Ⅱ. Blood circulation disorders and cognitive decline frequently occur in patients with chronic diseases,
necessitating the development of products to improve these conditions.

Ⅲ. Nhere are no approved specialized treatments for NCL,
and existing therapeutic approaches have limited efficacy or are difficult to use long-term.

Differentiation

Based on the prospective observational study and safety validation conducted, expansion into an integrated solution for vascular health and leg cramps
Currently, there are no Korean medicine-based treatments in NLC therapy. This multi-mechanism treatment simultaneously targets vascular relaxation, muscle tension relief, and improved sleep quality through a herbal compound prescription.
It enables integrated management of blood circulation and lower limb cramps in the core patient group aged 50-70.
