Abstract

The aim of the work. To carry out a marketing research of the drug assortment for the treatment of eczema, which are presented on the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market, with the aim of conducting further research on the creation and development of new drugs for eczema.

Materials and Methods. The work was carried out using official sources of information, in particular the information and search system of the "State Register of Medicinal Products of Ukraine", which was formed by the state body "State Expert Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine". System overview, statistical, structural, logical and graphic methods of analysis were used in the study.

Results and Discussion. The pharmaceutical market of Ukraine is characterized by a wide range of medicines used to treat eczema. The analysis of the assortment established that 158 drugs are represented, of which 72 are domestic drugs and 86 are imported drugs. Mainly, the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market presents means of imported production. These dermatological agents, used for the treatment of eczema, are drugs of five groups according to the ATS classification: D02 "Drugs with mitigating and protective action", D04 "Antipruritic drugs (including antihistamines, local anesthetics and other agents)", D06 "Antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs for use in dermatology", D07 "Corticosteroids for use in dermatology", D08 "Antiseptic and disinfectants". The drugs range is diverse in dosage forms, ointments and creams are the most common. Among the active substances of the studied drugs, the vast majority, namely 44, are synthetic: fluocinolone acetonide, methylprednisolone aceponate, clobetasol propionate, dexapantenol, desloratadine, fluticasone propionate, dimethindene maleate, diphenhydramine hydrochloride and others. Monopreparations predominate among the drugs of the studied group.

Conclusions. As a result of the conducted marketing research of the drugs range on the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market, which are used for the eczema treatment, we found that the development of new drugs in soft dosage forms is relevant.
