Materials and methods. The analysis of the assortment, economic affordability by the solvency adequacy index (Са.s.) and consumer demand by the number of OHC, CCRS, and HCPA packages sold according to the data of the “Morion” analytical system for 2018 was performed.

Results. OHC was represented by 40 trade names (TN), among them 35 TN were estrogens and gestagens in fixed combinations; gestagens and estrogens for sequential use were 3 TN; gestagens – 2 TN. CCRS and HCPA – 2 TN. The range of solvency adequacy index was: for OHC – 1.49-5.02 %; CCRS – 5.32-6.38 %; HCPA – 0.45-0.72 %. The number of packages sold was (in thousands): for OHC – 1879.4, among them 1708.1 – for estrogens and gestagens in fixed combinations; 156.7 – for gestagens and estrogens for sequential use; 14.6 – for gestagens; for CCRS – 27.3; for HCPA – 31.9.
