Summary
The wide prevalence of diseases of the genitourinary system determines the need to use a variety of tools for their treatment and prevention, including plant-based raw materials. The purpose of the study is to determine the main characteristics and trends in the development of the market of urological medicines and dietary supplements plant-based on raw materials, as well as the competitive positions of foreign and domestic manufacturers in this segment. Для их лечения и профилактики используются средства как синтетического (например, альфа-адреноблокаторы, антимикробные препараты), так и растительного происхождения (ЛП и БАД). В целом, несмотря на отсутствие в большинстве случаев строгих доказательств эффективности, фитопрепараты урологического профиля широко востребованы как у пациентов, так и у врачей в качестве вспомогательных средств для профилактики рецидивов урологических заболеваний. Цель исследования состояла в изучении структуры ассортимента, тенденций развития сегмента рынка лекарственных средств и БАД на основе растительного сырья, применяемых в урологии, а также позиций, занимаемых зарубежными и отечественными производителями в данном сегменте
