Abstract

Topicality. Gout is a chronic systemic metabolic disease, accompanied by hyperuricemia, arthritis and deposition in tissues and internal organs of urates with the formation of gout nodules. In the complex pharmacotherapy of gout patients, the main group for aetiotropic treatment are anti-gout drugs (AGD).

Aim. To study the assortment, social and economic availability and consumption of AGD in Ukraine for 2014-2016.

Materials and methods. The analysis of AGD range was carried out according to the information retrieval system “Pharmstandard” of the company “Morion”, consumption – by the indicator DDDs/1000 inhabitants/day, economic accessibility – by the indicator of Ca.s., which shows the share of wages in % that is spent for a monthly course of treatment.

Results and discussion. The assortment of AGD in the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine in 2014-2016 is quite limited and is presented by 7-10 trade names (TN) based on 2-4 INN. The most consumed and available for a monthly course of treatment for gout patients were the PPP of allopurinol, presented in a larger number of TNs on the pharmaceutical market in Ukraine.

Conclusions. Despite the insignificant assortment of AGD in the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, their consumption for 2014-2016 corresponded to the number of gout patients (0.5-2.8 % of the population) in Ukraine.
