Анотація

The aim: to investigate the pharmaceutical providing for the treatment of epilepsy in children in Ukraine and abroad and to conduct a marketing analysis of the domestic market of antiepileptic drugs.
 Materials and methods: domestic and foreign Internet sources, medical and technological documents on a specific research topic, the regulatory and legal base of Ukraine, materials of the State Formulary of Medicines, the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine were the objects of the study. The methods of marketing analysis, graphic, documentary and analytical generalization were used.
 Results: a comparative analysis of clinical protocols (France, Great Britain and Ukraine) for the treatment of epilepsy in children showed that there are only 12 INNs out of 37 INNs in the country. The analysis of the formulary lists of drugs of Great Britain and Ukraine showed that the BNFC has 32 INNs, and the domestic - 10 INNs. As of October 2022, 287 names of antiepileptic drugs are registered in Ukraine, and 164 of them are allowed in children's practice. The main producers of antiepileptic drugs are India and Ukraine. Children's drugs forms are mainly represented by tablets and capsules - more than 90%. A comparison of the lists of drugs for the treatment of epilepsy from the National List of Essential Medicines of Ukraine, BNFC, WHO Model List of Essential Medicines and WHO Model List of Essential Medicines for Children showed that out of 37 INNs, only 11 INNs are listed in all documents.
 Conclusions: the results prove the need of improvement of pharmaceutical providing of epilepsy treatment in Ukraine. The nomenclature and variety of dosage forms for children's practice need to be expanded. In order to increase the economic availability of epilepsy treatment, it is advisable to update the National List of the main drugs of Ukraine and include new drugs in it, which will make it possible to purchase them at the expense of the State Budget of Ukraine
