Abstract:
The article studies the current state of the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine in the context of ensuring the quality of medicinal products and preventing the spread of falsified medicinal products. It is found that according to the State Register of Medicinal Products of Ukraine, 13.664 drugs were registered in October 2020. It is further found that today in the structure of the assortment of medicines in the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, foreign drugs make up more than 70%, and in certain classification groups they reach 90%. It is determined that the main importers of medicines to Ukraine are Germany, India, France, Italy, Slovenia and Hungary. It is specified that Ukraine practically does not have its own production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), about 80% of APIs is imported from China and India, therefore distributors are mainly responsible for the quality of APIs. It is found that in the period from 2000 to 2020, the State Drug Inspectorate annually detected and removed from circulation circa 4–117 series and 3–63 names of falsified medicinal products. It is determined that the counterfeiting and underground production of falsified medicinal products in 2017–2020 on the territory of Ukraine were detected both by the State Medical Service and law enforcement agencies. It is further determined that in 2017 the State Medical Service issued 18 orders prohibiting the circulation of falsified medicinal products, in 2018 – 11 respective prohibiting orders, in 2019 – 21, and in 2020 – 4 respective prohibiting orders. It is specified that over the past 10 years there has been a steady trend towards an increase in the number of falsified medicinal products in the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine. The main factors stimulating the circulation of falsified medicinal products have been established: the unstable economic situation in Ukraine; a developed system of online sales of medicines; the shortage of medicines creates the possibility of distribution of falsified medicines; high drug prices when compared with the average paying capacity of the population, as well as a large difference in market prices, which stimulates the sale of a cheaper counterfeit drug.

Keywords: pharmaceutical market, priorities, quality, counterfeit, medicinal products.
