Introduction. The Russian model of drug supply is realized mainly at the expense of the population’s money resources. In the structure of drug supply for outpatients, the reimbursed drug supply sector (compulsory medical insurance funds) accounted for only 12% of the total costs. Objective: to analyze the pattern and trends of drug supply for outpatients in the Russian Federation. Material and methods. The objects of the study were the analytical reports of the DSM group and the official statistical data of the World Health Organization. Comparative analysis, statistical analysis, and data analytical grouping method were used. Results. In 2011–2015, the share of reimbursed outpatient medicines decreased by 3%. The purchase of medicines per capita rose by 26.8%, which led to an increase in the share of expenditure on medicines and medical equipment in consumer household spending by 2.1%. The commercial retail sector of the Russian pharmaceutical market shows a steady tendency for altering the sales pattern in terms of price ranges towards more expensive drugs. Conclusion. Drug supply for outpatients in Russia is carried out by 88% at the expense of money resources of the population. In the past 5 years, there has been an increase in the share of expenditure on medicines and medical equipment in consumer household spending.
