The study showed that suppositories accounted for 1.5% of the total amount of medicinal products in the State Register. The share of rectal suppositories is 61.9%, and a share of vaginal ones is 38.1%. Domestic-to-foreign products analysis showed that the domestic suppositories accounted for 68.6%, and the foreign ones accounted for 31.4%. 21 countries supply the suppositories to Russia. Germany (7.3%), Moldova (3.7%), Slovenia (2.8%) made up the largest share in the supplies. The pharmacological action analysis of suppositories allowed to establish that the largest number of suppositories manufactured in our country contain medicinal substances of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (13.0%), antimicrobial and antiprotozoal (8%), antihemorrhoidal (7.7%), antifungal (7.9%), analgesic non-narcotic action (5.0%). The number of antiviral suppositories is insignificant and accounts for 1.3%. Content analysis made it possible to form an information array of suppository assortments of domestic and foreign manufacture to determine a rectal-to-vaginal suppository ratio.marketingcontent analysissuppositoriesмаркетингконтент-анализсуппозиториимаркетингконтент-анализсуппозитории1.Битерякова A.M., Кузубова Е.Л.
