Objective: to determine the compliance of antihypertensive drugs consumption with the trends of modern pharmacotherapy.Material and methods. The analysis of the consumption level of antihypertensive drugs, their fixed combinations (FC), as well as statins in the retail sector of the pharmaceutical market of the Samara Region in 2015–2020 was carried out. The material of this retrospective study was information about the nomenclature and volume of drug sales in physical and monetary terms for the period under review in one of the retail pharmacies of the Samara Region. The traditional method of pharmacoepidemiological analysis aimed at studying the correctness, completeness and preferences of drug use in real practice is questionnaires for physicians and patients. The main antihypertensive drugs (diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, β-blockers) and their FC were selected for the analysis.Results. Long-term use of medications aimed at reducing high blood pressure and hypercholesterolemia is seen as an effective strategy for reducing cardiovascular complications and mortality in both primary and secondary prevention. The analysis of sales of basic cardiological drugs in the pharmacy network segment of the Samara Region in 5-year dynamics showed that the consumption of hypotensive drugs and statins makes up 4.72% of the total item sales, with prevalence of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (28.0%) and β-blockers (23.5%), with insufficient consumption of FC (23.7%), extremely low sales of statins (7.58%).Conclusion. The structure of the studied segment of the pharmaceutical market is conservative with insufficient positive dynamics in the consumption of effective modern drugs and their FC.
Aim to study the characteristics of the consumption of antihypertensive (AG) drugs in the population of several regions of the Russian Federation the Samara region, the Nizhny Novgorod region and the Republic of Tatarstan. Material and methods. The range of AG drugs sold in the retail pharmaceutical market of the Samara and Nizhny Novgorod regions and the Republic of Tatarstan was selected for the study. To manage the obtained data, we used several methods like structural, comparative, logical, predictive, retrospective, graphic, marketing analysis. The results were processed using the normalization method and methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The monopreparations kept the main share of sales in each region: 90.22% in the Samara region, 90.85% in the Nizhny Novgorod region, and 93.72% in the Republic of Tatarstan). In 2021, the leaders in consumption were ACE inhibitors (28.41%, 26.61% and 32.7%, respectively in each region) and -blockers (25.87%, 29.02% and 21.15%). In total, these two subgroups accounted for more than a half of all monopreparations sold, counted in packages. In the subgroup of fixed combinations, the angiotensin II receptor blockers + diuretic were the most popular, which account for 35.38%, 29.73% and 22.13% of drug sales in this subgroup in the Samara, Nizhny Novgorod regions and the Republic of Tatarstan, respectively. In the subgroup of combined antihypertensive drugs, the multicomponent fixed combinations were among the leaders (10.22%, 8.20%, 12.10%, respectively in each region), however, in the total consumption of antihypertensive drugs, they accounted for less than 1%. Conclusion. This study revealed the features of the consumption of drugs prescribed for arterial hypertension in the Samara and Nizhny Novgorod regions, as well as in the Republic of Tatarstan in 2021. We identified the groups of antihypertensive drugs of most demand and found the leaders within these groups. It was established that there was a relationship between the volume of sales of antihypertensive medicines in physical terms (in packages) in the Samara region for the period 20172021 and the population of this region.

An analysis of the medicinal preparation consumption structure in the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in the pharmacy network reflects the existing outpatient practice and makes it possible to draw generalized conclusions about its compliance with the pharmacotherapy standards.The aim. Comparative analysis of population consumption of antimicrobial and antiviral medicines sold in the retail pharmacies of the Samara region in 2015–2021.Materials and methods. The study was conducted in the retail sector of the Samara region pharmaceutical market. The material of the study was the information on the list of items and dispensing volumes of antibacterial and individual antiviral drugs during the novel coronavirus infection spread (in 2020) in the network of the Samara region pharmacies. The data are compared with the indicators of the drug sales in 2015–2019. Methods of retrospective, comparative, graphical, methodological, content analyzes and statistical methods of analyses were used.Results. The authors have established a significant distortion in the consumption of systemic antimicrobial preparations in the Samara region pharmacy segment in the period of 2015–2019 with the predominance of the ATC (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System) J01D group, primarily cephalosporins (38%), mainly by the parenteral administration route. The share of macrolides (J01F) consumption in volume terms was 14.9%, of fluoroquinolones (J01M) – 11.3%, beta-lactam antibiotics with beta-lactamase inhibitors – 10.7%, beta-lactam antibiotics penicillins (J01C) – 8.1%. Compared to 2019, in 2020, under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the total consumption of AMPs increased by 2.1 times. In the “Other beta-lactam antibiotics” group with a predominant proportion of cephalosporins, there was an increase by 3.2 times, in the “Macrolides and lincosamides” group – by 3.5 times, in “Quinolone derivatives” – by 2.6 times. The noted facts should be assessed as the phenomenon that can have a direct impact on the growth of an antibiotic resistance on a population scale. Among antivirals, the largest consumption increase was noted for oseltamivir and rimantadine. In absolute terms, the volume of antiviral preparations consumption in 2020 increased by 2.4 times, which was accompanied by an increase in the cost of one package by 55.8%.Conclusion. In the period of spreading a novel coronavirus infection, a significant increase in the consumption of antimicrobial and antiviral preparations (up to 20 times for certain pharmacotherapeutic groups and names) was notified, which may negatively affect the growth of the antibiotic resistance in the population.
