Abstract

The aim of the work. Analysis of the assortment (for 2020-2022) and consumption volumes (for 2020-2021) of single-component hypoglycemic drugs (HGP) on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine and comparison of HGP consumption indicators with data from European countries - Estonia and Norway.

Materials and Methods. To analyze the assortment and consumption of HGP in the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, the State Register of Medicinal Products of Ukraine, Compendium online and data from the analytical research of the pharmaceutical market "Proxima Research" of the company "Morion" were used. Consumption studies were conducted according to the ATC/DDD methodology recommended by WHO.

Results and Discussion. The range of pharmaceutical products on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine for 2020-2022 was quite wide - 136-141 assortment items of drugs mainly of domestic manufacturers (53.7-59.0%) based on 14 INNs. These drugs had a wide range of prices, which allows to optimize costs for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. Metformin preparations from the group of biguanides (53.0-55.4%) and sulfonylureas (33.0-34.6%) took the largest share of the market in 2022. The consumption of HGP in Ukraine was high and varied from 22.21 DID in 2020 to 23.77 DID in 2021. The largest volumes of consumption fell on drugs of the groups of biguanides and derivatives of sulfonylureas, which is associated with their clinical effectiveness, low cost, the large number of generic drugs on the market, as well as the availability of the Affordable Medicines reimbursement program, which includes metformin, glibenclamide, and gliclazide. In Ukraine, compared to Norway and Estonia, the new effective classes of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor antagonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, which are included in the modern international recommendations of the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes Mellitus, are used rather little.

Conclusions. The peculiarities of the product range for 2020-2022 and the consumption of HGP in Ukraine for 2020-2021 have been established. During the period of the study, a trend towards an increase in the number of domestic drugs on the market and an increase in the overall level of consumption in 2021 compared to 2020 was noted. In order to comply with modern according to international recommendations for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is appropriate to include new classes of drugs (GLP-1 and DPP-4) in the State Reimbursement Program "Affordable Medicines".
