How long can a temporary pharmacy permit be granted?

A temporary pharmacy permit can be granted for a period of 60 days. This time frame is designed to allow a pharmacy that is in the process of obtaining a full license to commence operations while they complete the necessary requirements for licensure. This provision ensures that there is minimal disruption in patient access to necessary medications and pharmacy services.

During this 60-day period, the pharmacy must fulfill all regulatory obligations set forth by the Delaware Board of Pharmacy to transition from a temporary to a full pharmacy permit. Understanding the duration of a temporary permit is crucial for pharmacies as it helps them plan and comply with state regulations effectively.
