Abstract

The studies have shown that the manufactured homeopathic medicinal products (MP) existing at the current domestic pharmaceutical market are not appropriate for the individual approach of homeopathic treatment, so the need in their extemporaneous compounding is pressing. One of the ways to solve this problem is expansion of the chain of specialized homeopathic pharmacies and departments on the basis of the existing pharmacies of the general profile. To implement this method, the specificity of the production function of pharmacies (departments), which is based on extemporaneous compounding of homeopathic MP, has been investigated. It has been found that the proportion of extemporaneous compounding of homeopathic MP by means of intrapharmacy products among the total number of extemporaneous compounding of homeopathic MP in specialized pharmacies constitutes 89.79%, and in pharmacies of the general profile (homeopathic department) it is 14.04%. It is important to mention that the proportion of funds for implementation of homeopathic MP in the total cost of medicines sold by pharmacies according to prescriptions of extemporaneous compounding is higher than 50%. It is based on preparation and sale of solid, liquid and soft medicinal dosage forms of 77.16%, 14 37% and 8.74%, respectively; and it proves the expedience of creating such specialized pharmacies (departments).
