Materials and methods. In this work the logical, statistical, monitoring methods were used. Price-lists of famous wholesale firms at Ukrainian pharmaceutical market and also retail prices of medications with antiseborrheic action were analyzed. Results. The analysis of pharmaceutical price market of antiseborrheic medications, which are of the greatest use among population, was carried out. Calculated liquidity ratio for the most antiseborrheic medications has value about 0.5. Indexes of adequate paying capacity factor indicate availability of such home-made remedies as Ketokonazol Fytopharm (0.31), Ketodin 90.96), Ketozoral-Darnitsa (1.00), Dermazol 91.16) and dermazol Plus (1.17). Sulsena paste 1 % (0.17), Sulsena forte paste 2 % (0.19), shampoo “Zelenaya apteka” (0.40), Sulsena shampoo (0.88) are the most available medications for South region in “medical cosmetics” segment. The tar shampoo “911” – (RF) – 0.50, tar shampoo– (RF) – 0.51 and tar shampoo “Aptechka Agafyi” – (RF) – 0.92 are the most available from imported shampoos. Conclusion. On basis of carried out calculations it was determined that the high price competition is typical for all medications of described segment of medications with the exception of Kenazol, Ketokonazol-Fitopharm, Nizoral, Ebersept, Keto Plus, Skin-Cap.
