Pharmacoeconomics in the process of pharmaceutical market regulation in the Republic of Croatia

It is a well-known fact that the demand for drugs (and other goods) is always higher the actual payment ability. In almost all countries in the world the expenses for drugs grow faster than GDP and make up 10-20 % of total health care costs, i.e. 1-2 % of GDP. The analyses conducted in the developed countries indicate that the increase in drug expenses is influenced mostly by the changes of the populations demographic structure (aging of the population), chronic non-infectious diseases, and the dynamics of continuous introduction of new and increasingly more expensive drugs.
