Production and use of biologically active substances: Economic, social and legal aspects

Abstract

The article analyzes the opinions of researchers on the need to produce and use biologically active substances. The authors of this publication consider not only legal issues, but also socio-economic ones. Due to the integral approach and the use of several basic methods of scientific cognition, a number of progressive conclusions are formulated. It is noted that the quality of biologically active substances and their generics depends not only on the consumer’s demand, but also on the substance nature and its legal regulation. Not only advantages of modern approaches to drug production are noted, but also defects, namely high cost and insufficiently effective use of digital technologies.
