This goal is implemented through two main areas of regulation: ensuring the circulation of effective, safe and high-quality medicines on the market and creating barriers to the circulation of unsafe and substandard medicines; regulation of the reimbursable sphere, including the inclusion of medicines in the packages of state (insurance) guarantees of medical care. The strategic direction of regulation of the pharmaceutical market is a set of measures aimed at the development of pharmaceutical production and including in addition to tax benefits also state subsidies, concessional lending, the activities of development institutions and special programs to support innovation, etc. Participation of the Russian Federation in the world economic processes predetermines the development of effective and efficient methods of state regulation of innovative development of enterprises of the pharmaceutical industry in Russia.
