Digestive diseases are the third leading cause of appeals in all age groups for medical help after the pathologies of the circulatory and respiratory system.

VEN-analysis showed that the highest number of medications (69.79%) belongs to the category N (not necessary), that defines the need for further search for ways to reduce the costs of not necessary medications. Medications of the category E (essential) accounted for 9.38% of the total assortment and category V (vital) represented by 20.83%. As a result of integrated clinical and economic analysis, it was found that in 2014 the largest part of the costs 25 281.04 UAH (42,76%), associated with the pharmaceutical provision of patients with peptic ulcer disease, accounts for 8 INN, which were the most expensive (group A) and vital (Group V).
