Recently, blockchain has increasingly been used in several sectors as the technological underpinning for providing a secure and reliable environment. It has been used in a few sectors for provenance of high-value products. In this paper, we focus on the pharmaceutical sector in which the need for drug provenance is crucial due to counterfeiting and for finding efficient ways to handle drug waste. The focus on this paper is two-fold. The first contribution is to review the existing literature critically and systematically on blockchain use in the pharmaceutical sector. We identify four crucial factors that are critical in the pharmaceutical sector. Subsequently, we systematically review the existing literature on blockchain use in the pharmaceutical sector. The second contribution is based on the analysis of the existing literature, we identify key research gaps on blockchain use in the pharmaceutical sector. Finally, an intelligent platform is proposed to address the identified gaps.
