Abstract

The aim of the work. Research of the dynamics of trade names (TN) of simvastatin, which are included in the registers of the governmental program "Affordable drugs" (hereinafter referred to as "Registers"), from the point of view of the range and the share of their reimbursement to the patient.

Materials and Methods. Research materials – information from eight Registers of 2017–2020 on the reimbursement of simvastatin TN cost. Methods: information search, analysis and generalization.

Results and Discussion. It has been established that the Registry included from 4 to 16 TNs of simvastatin, taking into account different dosages. The dynamics of wholesale prices and retail prices (RP) for the packaging of simvastatin TN testify to them being decreased during the analyzed period. The price change index for 93.8 % of the analyzed TNs (taking into account different dosages), was less than 1 and was within 0.52… 0.98. The results of the analysis of the dynamics of the share of the compensation of the simvastatin TN value and the consumer surcharge showed that 90… 100 % reimbursement of the cost was declared in the first and second registers for all TNs with different dosages, in the third – 60… 100 %, in the other registers – 50… 100 % of the cost of drugs. A comparative situational analysis of RP on simvastatin TNs with different dosages in 176 pharmacies in Lviv and in the eighth Register showed that its minimum rate in pharmacies was lower than in the Register, and the maximum – for 61.5 % of TNs was lower or equal to the price in the Register. Only for 5 TNs RP in pharmacies was higher than in the Register.

Conclusions. It has been established that the range of simvastatin TNs (taking into account different dosages) has increased fourfold since the launch of the governmental program “Affordable drugs”. It has been found that the number of simvastatin TNs with full compensation increased from 25 % in the first to 56.3 % in the eighth Register, which indicates an increase in the affordability of simvastatin for patients with acute disorders of cerebral blood circulation. Low flexibility in compliance with RP in pharmacies in Lviv and in the eighth Register has been established, which, in our opinion, can be explained by a significant time delay between the administrative decision making on the value of RP for simvastine and its market change.
