Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the general state of the modern domestic pharmaceutical nomenclature system in order to identify the transformation processes taking place in it, determine the directions of development, and in particular the place and role of traditional Latin special terminology in it. Research methods are induction, deduction, descriptive, contextual-interpretive and component analysis methods. Scientific novelty. Considering the fact that such an analysis has not been carried out in Ukraine, this work will be useful for the specialists' understanding of the existing terminological problems and their further elimination. Conclusions. Despite the rapid expansion of the sphere of English language functioning, Latin traditionally remains the basis of international scientific terminology and specialized nomenclature codes, especially in medical and related branches of people’s activity. The fundamental study of the Latin language and the foundations of terminology is the key to professional terminological literacy of the future specialists – medical doctors and pharmacists.
