What is the notification period to the board for changes in manufacturers and wholesalers?

The appropriate notification period to the board for changes in manufacturers and wholesalers is 30 days. This timeline ensures that the board remains informed about significant changes that can impact the supply chain, patient safety, and the overall regulation of pharmacy operations.

A 30-day notification requirement allows the board sufficient time to review the changes and make any necessary inquiries or decisions regarding compliance with state laws and regulations. Timely communication is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the pharmacy practice and ensuring that all involved parties are adhering to state guidelines.

This extended notification period also provides pharmacies and wholesalers adequate time to prepare for any necessary adjustments that might arise from changing manufacturers or wholesalers, thus promoting a stable supply chain and minimizing potential disruptions in the provision of pharmaceutical services.
