What should a pharmacy do after revocation of a license for non-compliance?

Seeking re-inspection with a new application after the revocation of a pharmacy license for non-compliance is the appropriate course of action. When a pharmacy’s license is revoked, it indicates that the pharmacy must rectify the issues that led to the revocation before resuming operations. By applying for a re-inspection, the pharmacy demonstrates its commitment to compliance and addresses the specific reasons for revocation. This proactive approach allows the pharmacy to potentially regain its license after fulfilling the necessary conditions set by the regulatory authority.

In addition, the re-application process usually requires the pharmacy to provide evidence of corrective measures taken to resolve previous non-compliance issues, which is crucial for obtaining a favorable outcome during the re-inspection. This option focuses on the regulatory pathway to legitimacy and operational continuity.

Closing immediately does not address the underlying issues causing revocation and leaves the pharmacy without a way to remedy its situation. Filing for bankruptcy is a severe action that suggests the pharmacy is unable to recover and does not solve the compliance issues necessary for re-establishment. Waiting for a year before applying again may result in unnecessary delays and does not actively engage with the regulatory body to rectify the compliance situation. Taking initiative for re-inspection shows responsibility and a desire to comply with pharmacy laws and
