Multiple Sclerosis progresses in Ukraine as a cause of disability of young people in conditions of martial law. The role of matrix metalloprotease-9 in the development of the inflammatory process in different types of multiple sclerosis is considered. A study of the level of matrix metalloprotease-9 was conducted in 135 patients with multiple sclerosis with different types of course and at different stages of activity of the pathological process. Higher levels of matrix metalloprotease-9 were found in patients with the remitting type of the disease at the stage of exacerbation, while in patients with the primary-progressive type of the disease this indicator was the lowest. The study of the level of matrix metalloprotease-9 allows us to judge the degree of severity of the inflammatory process and serves as a means of monitoring the effectiveness of multiple sclerosis therapy. It requires a pharmacoeconomic study of the stages of clinical monitoring of patients using a complex of pharmacotherapeutic measures and drugs. The data of the World Health Organization on additions to the Essential Medicines List and the Essential Medicines List for Children with innovative drugs for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, improving the health of the population worldwide, WHO Recommendations and ICD-11 require the development of the issue for the publication of the monograph "Medicines for neurologists, psychiatrists and narcologists" in a new edition.
