The topical issue of pharmacotherapy is providing patients with a sufficient number of effective, safe and affordable medicines for the treatment of this nosology, therefore the research of the range of medicines for treatment of acne in the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine became the purpose of the work. The data of the Information Retrieval System «State Register of Medicines of Ukraine» and the reference book «The Compendium 2014 – Medicines» were used for the study. The following methods of research were used: systematic, comparative and meta-analysis (the study of domestic and foreign publications on the problem of acne, statistics); marketing analysis (the analysis of the structure of the market of medicines); graphical method (visual, diagrammatic representation of the results of the research), as well as the method of narrative and abstract modeling and synthesis (the formulation of the conclusions and recommendations). In the treatment of acne means of local and systemic therapy, which in the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine are presented by 25 trade names, are applied. The domestic medicines for treatment of acne are presented by 7 names, account for only 28% of the total, and are produced by 5 Ukrainian producers. The imported medicines for treatment of acne are presented by 18 names, account for 72% of the total, and are manufactured by foreign pharmaceutical companies from 13 countries of the world. All medicines for the systemic therapy of acne and the majority of medicines for the local therapy (3 groups of 5) are presented only by the imported preparations without domestic counterparts that indicate to the dependence on imports and to the low level of physical and economic availability to consumers.
