How often must an inactive pharmacy license be renewed?

An inactive pharmacy license in Maine must be renewed annually to maintain its status. This annual renewal requirement ensures that the pharmacy remains in compliance with regulatory standards and can be reinstated to active status as needed. The annual renewal process involves confirming the intent to keep the license inactive and ensures that the licensing board has up-to-date information about the licensee.

While other time frames, such as every two years, five years, or every six months, may apply to other types of licenses or different regulatory requirements, the specific regulation for an inactive pharmacy license dictates that it be renewed on an annual basis. This helps to maintain oversight and accountability in the pharmacy profession.
