Objective To draw on the experience of the construction and development of drug traceability system in the USA and to provide reference for improving China’s drug traceability system. Methods Literature research and comparative study were used to sort out the background and development of drug traceability system in the USA, including drug traceability code, drug traceability model, drug traceability platform and the application of blockchain technology. On this basis, some suggestions on the construction of drug traceability system in China were put forward. Results and Conclusion The United States has a perfect system of laws and regulations on drug traceability, which encourages the construction of third-party traceability platforms to avoid the formation of monopolies. Besides, the application of blockchain technology in the construction of drug traceability system is also relatively mature. It is suggested that China strengthen the construction of drug traceability system, give play to the advantages of third-party traceability platforms, and improve the application of blockchain technology in drug traceability.
