Abstract. Introduction: Worldwide, homeopathy is one of the most widespread non-conventional methods of treatment. Despite the controversial points about the effectiveness of this method, patients use homeopathic products every day for the prevention and treatment of many pathological processes. This requires the homeopathic market to expand in the direction of developing new medicinal products and introducing new medicinal forms that are convenient for use in various symptoms and diseases. Aim: The purpose of the present study is to analyze and summarize data on registered homeopathic medicinal products and their forms. Materials and Methods: An analysis was made of the register of medicinal products registered on the territory of Bulgaria as of mid-2023, as well as data from the pharmaceutical market and, in particular, data on sales related to homeopathic medicinal products. Results: Homeopathic treatment also accounts for a large proportion of the treatment of mild to moderate conditions in multiple therapeutic areas. Single-dose homeopathic products and combined homeopathic products (specialties) are available on the Bulgarian market; they occupy a certain place in the various therapeutic areas. In addition to the classic dosage forms characteristic of homeopathic products, there are many others that facilitate the process of use. The strongest impression is made by the registered injectable forms, which differ in the way they are prescribed and dispensed. Conclusion: The creation of new combination products in different dosage forms gives the homeopathic industry the opportunity to develop and adapt to changes in the global market and meet the expectations of a population that is increasingly looking to natural and natural methods of treatment.
Key words: homeopathy, homeopathic products, dosage forms, pharmaceutical market
