Improvement of pharmaceutical care when using the group of hypnotic and sedative medicines in modern conditions

Abstract

The spread of mental disorders, pathological conditions and mental illnesses occupy a significant place among the causes of inactivity, disability and mortality of the population in all developed countries of the world. Today's realities are such that a protracted war is raging in our country - "endless February". These factors lead to the development of psychotrauma , persistent crisis situations, stress disorders, sleep disorders associated with military operations. More than 10- 12% of the population of developed countries suffers from insomnia, and every second adult has one or more symptoms of a sleep disorder. The results of the fourth wave of the All-Ukrainian study on the mental health of Ukrainians during the war (February 2025) showed that 50% of respondents experience sleep deterioration, exhaustion - 49%, bad mood - 49%, emotional instability - 45%. Doctors, pharmacists and clinical pharmacists in their practice constantly use psycholeptic drugs and apply the principles of pharmaceutical care. Pharmaceutical care when using rational therapy is the basis for successful treatment of patients with stress disorders, sleep disorders and ensuring the prevention of possible complications. Modern algorithms for improving the main criteria of pharmaceutical care require increasing the efficiency of the use of drugs, as well as reducing their side, negative effects, which are necessary conditions for high-quality therapy and are relevant from the standpoint of clinical pharmacy.
