HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Nov. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United-Guardian, Inc. (NASDAQ:UG) announced today that the company's Board of Directors, at its meeting on November 15, 2022, declared a cash dividend of $0.31 per share, which will be paid on December 7, 2022 to all stockholders of record on November 28, 2022.

Based on our new marketing efforts, as well as our strong product development, we are optimistic that we will have a promising 2023.
