Abstract: Drug safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are the most important indicators that determine whether the candidate compounds can can be developed into drugs. The listed drugs withdrawn from the market were often of serious adverse drugs reactions. Drugs in different individuals/groups may have different pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and even cause adverse drug reactions(ADR). While pharmacogenetics focuses on the influence of genetic factors on both. To clarify the mechanism of abnormal reactions caused by genetic variations, not only enhance drugs safety, with a more comprehensive description of the indications, but also could rewrite the fate of drugs to be withdrawn, which can make it better service to humanity.

Key words: Pharmacogenetics, Withdrawal, Genetic factors, Polymorphism, Adverse drug reactions
