Abstract: The pharmacovigilance system is the most basic system for drug safety risk management throughout the life cycle of drugs,involving the detection,identification,assessment and prevention of harmful drug reactions.Among the four tasks,prevention,which is the most advanced element of the pharmacovigilance system compared with the adverse drug reaction monitoring system,is overlapping with the other three,which is why the research on prevention should be strengthened.By interpreting the concept of pharmacovigilance systems in China ,analyzing China's practices and summarizing foreign experience on prevention of harmful drug reactions,this paper proposes that we can strengthen the prevention of harmful drug reactions by enhancing the awareness of risk prevention in the early stage of drug research and development,making registration review and approval rigorous,attaching importance to the monitoring of adverse reactions in individual cases,formulating relief systems for drug misadventures,promoting the safety of medicine use,and encouraging exploratory research.

Key words: pharmacovigilance system, harmful drug reactions, adverse drug reaction, prevention
