Consumer properties of drugs in the form of suppositories and their prospects in development of epilepsy treatment that will solve the problem of creating new, more effective and less toxic drugs for the treatment of this pathology have been analyzed. The greater part of drugs of this group is imported to Ukraine by foreign pharmaceutical companies. These circumstances lead to the fact that each year there are a lot of diverse studies for searching new potential anti-epileptic drugs. purposefulness of search generalizes all studies in this area both in case of creating analogues of the existing medicines, and in case of their possible metabolic products.
