Aim. To analyze the domestic pharmaceutical market and study the range of capillary stabilizing medicines for the period 2020-2023 by pharmacotherapeutic groups, manufacturing companies, dosage forms, etc.
Materials and methods. To conduct an analysis of the range of capillary stabilizing medicines, modern methods of analysis, in particular, generalization and systematization of information, as well as methods of mathematical and statistical calculations, were traditionally used.
The study object was information on the registration of medicines of the State Expert Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, data from scientific publications. To substantiate the assessment of the capillary stabilizing medicines market and to determine the actual availability of drugs of the group studied, we analyzed the wholesale pharmaceutical market, in particular the offers of distribution companies. The data were obtained from the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine, the Compendium on-line and the research of the drug market “Proxima Research” of the analytical company “Morion” during 2020-2022 with the average offers of distributors by the group “Angioprotectors”, ATX code C05.
Results. Based on the results of the analysis of the registration data of medicines of the State Expert Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, it has been determined that angioprotective agents belong to the C05C group according to the international АТС classification. As of September 1, 2023, 68 names of drugs of this group were registered in Ukraine by trade names, taking into account the dosage and package size. The domestic pharmaceutical market includes medicines of domestic production and 10 countries of foreign production, mainly the EU countries and Israel. According to the Register, 15 foreign and 15 domestic drug manufacturers currently supply angioprotective drugs to the pharmaceutical market. The results of the analysis indicate that the most of capillary stabilizing medicines presented at the domestic pharmaceutical market are drugs of Ukrainian production. Among domestic drugs with the angioprotective action, the lion’s share of the market belongs to the main three manufacturers – PJSC SIC “Borshchahivskiy CPP” covers 27 %, Arterium – 17 %, “Red Star” – 10 % of the total number of domestic drugs of this group. As for foreign-made medicines, their distribution by manufacturers is developing dynamically, taking into account the volumes of their sales both in physical and monetary terms. It has been proven that during 2020-2023, there is a tendency to increase the number of domestic drugs at the pharmaceutical market. In addition, we have found that for most of the assortment items in 2022, there is a significant decrease in the sales volumes of angioprotective drugs compared to previous periods.
Conclusions. According to the results of the study, the peculiarities of the range of capillary stabilizing medicines in Ukraine during 2020-2023 were determined, and during the study period, there was a tendency to increase the number of domestic drugs at the market and to reduce the overall level of consumption in 2022 compared to 2020-2021.
