Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive review and systematization of data on the range, component composition, and characteristics of medicinal plant collections registered on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, taking into account the prevalence of individual plant ingredients and the pharmacological groups to which they belong. The purpose of the study is to conduct an analysis of medicinal plant collections registered on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine. The analysis showed that all preparations represented on the market are produced by domestic enterprises. The largest share is held by "Liktravy" factory company (Zhytomyr), which provides 57.14% of all registered preparations. Fifty-eight different plant components were identified in the 28 medicinal plant collections studied. A study of the frequency of use of raw materials showed that peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) occupies the leading position, included in 15 preparations, which is more than 50% of the total number of preparations. The second position is occupied by chamomile flowers (Matricaria chamomilla L.), found in 11 cases, while licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) is represented in 10 collections. The analysis shows that the most common medicinal plant collections are those with antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and sedative effects.
