The study is based on general scientific and special-scientific methods and techniques of scientific knowledge. The historical and legal method enabled to determine the challenges of the circulation of medicines in Ukraine. The comparative legal method enabled to compare doctrinal approaches to the differentiation of medicinal products in the pharmaceutical market in Ukraine and the EU as a whole.
