Abstract

The article describes the features of pharmacotherapy of patients with liver disease. The pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, namely drugs of group A05B "Drugs used in case of liver diseases, lipotropic drugs" was analyzed. It has been established that currently 63 registered medicinal products belong to essential phospholipids, preparations based on medicinal plant raw materials, dressings based on amino acids, synthetic medicinal products and others. The percentage ratio of domestic / foreign production, original drugs/generics was analyzed. It has been proven that any hepatoprotector has certain features (pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, side effects, contraindications) which are structured in the publication and which should be taken into account when recommending this group of drugs.
