Nowadays there is a tendency towards the spread of viral diseases that cause significant complications to human health. Therefore, the question of creating new drugs that have a high antiviral effect is topical.
The aim. To study the range of drugs in Ukraine for the treatment of herpes viral diseases.
Materials and methods. In the work were used the list of drugs from official sources of information, which were processed by methods of generalization, systematization, graphic, comparative and structural analysis.
Results and discussion. The marketing research of drugs for the treatment of herpes viral diseases presented at the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine has been conducted. According to the results it is found that 80 drugs for the treatment of herpes viral diseases of various dosage forms are presented in the domestic market, of which 70 % – tablets; 51 % – medicines produced by the industry of Ukraine; 94 % – are monocomponent preparations.
Soft drugs play important role in the treatment of skin diseases because they provide a direct effect of the drugs on the pathogens, eliminate inflammatory phenomena and eliminate or reduce the symptoms of the disease. Soft dosage drugs have practically no contraindications, they can be used at any age, regardless of the presence of comorbidities.
Conclusions. Domestic drugs (51 % of the total range) dominate in the market structure. The main part (94 %) consist of monocomponent preparations. The results of the research prove the relevance of the development of new combined soft dosage forms for the treatment of herpes viral diseases, which should be produced by the Ukrainian industry and satisfy the medical and economical needs of patients. The results of the marketing analysis show that it is relevant and promising to create new combined the soft dosage forms for the treatment of herpes viral diseases.
Liver damage is a common problem all over the world. To optimize the drug provision in the limited financing of the Health Care System, it is necessary to develop new drugs with hepatoprotective properties that are highly effective and of low cost. That is why we developed the original drug Lavaflam. Lavaflam is a combination of the following substances: dry concentrate of Helichrysum arenarium and Lavender oil. The purpose of the research was to assess the biochemical evidence of the hepatoprotective properties of the drug Lavaflam on the experimental model of subchronic hepatitis in rats. Construction of an experimental model of subchronic hepatitis in rats, comparison of hepatoprotective properties of Lavaflam and Carsil preparations on the basis of biochemical research. The subject of the study was to determine the hepatoprotective properties of Lavaflam tablets. Experimental subchronic hepatitis induced in rats by way of intragastrical introduction of tetrachlormethane. The study drug Lavaflam in this experimental model of subchronic tetrachlormethane hepatitis in rats showed a positive effect on oxidant processes by increasing the compensatory mechanisms of antioxidant systems; inhibiting free radical pathology; having positive effect on the processes of biliary excretion, cholestasis, reduction of infiltrative, destructive and inflammatory process in the liver; decreasing the cytolytic process; restoring the structure of the membrane components of hepatocytes; stabilizing and enhancing functional activity of the liver; restoring its protein-synthetic function; and increasing the ability of the drug Lavaflam to restore metabolic and liver damage.As a result of the performed biochemical study of the hepatoprotective action of Lavaflam, it has been found that in the developed drug Lavaflam, the level of hepatoprotective action corresponds with the reference drug Carsil.
Aim. To develop the composition and technology for obtaining the combined drug of indapamide with enalapril of the prolonged action.
Materials and methods. Indapamide and enalapril maleate substances as active components, and polyvinylpyrrolidone, calcium stearate, lactose monohydrate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as excipients were used. The pharmaco-technological studies were conducted according to the methods of the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine (SPhU).
Results and discussion. The pharmaco-technological properties of tablet mixtures and the quality of finished tablets were compared using direct pressing and preliminary wet granulation.
Conclusions. It has been found that the use of the method of pre-granulation of the tablet mixture allows obtaining a finished product that fully meets the requirements of the SPhU.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
