The aim. To establish the prevalence of PMS symptoms and evaluate the medication management of this disorder in Lviv. Materials and methods. The objects of the study were: scientific publications related to the problem of PMS; the results (n=105) of the survey. Methods applied: systematization, generalization, comparison, questionnaire. The statistical analyses (descriptive statistics, univariable analysis using simple logistic regression, multiple logistic regression) were performed with SPSS Trial. Results. The prevalence of PMS among the surveyed was high (83,8 %). The most common complaints are abdominal and/or low back pain (46,6 %) and increased irritability/aggression (43,2 %). Almost half (46,6 %) of women who experienced PMS consult a pharmacist, and only 23,9 % seek medical advice. At the same time, 87,5 % (n=77) of women (among those suffering from PMS) use medicines to alleviate/eliminate the symptoms of PMS. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (77,6 %), sedatives (36,8 %), and complex herbal remedies that affect the genital system (18,4 %) are the most common drugs for PMS. Choosing the way of PMS management, 44,8 % of women would prefer herbal medicines to synthetic ones. Both previous using of synthetic drugs for PMS and adverse drug reactions to synthetic drugs have a statistically significant contribution to a positive attitude towards herbal remedies (p=0,004 and p=0,026, respectively). Conclusion. PMS is a common medical and social issue. Achieving effective and safe medication management of PMS requires the joint participation of a physician, pharmacist, and the patient in terms of compliance and lifestyle adjustments
