Permits and Registration Required Forms

New permits are required for any Change of Ownership, Change of Pharmacy Name, or Change of Location from one city to another. Permits are not transferable and each location requires its own permit. Correctly completed applications for new permits or changes to existing permits must be received in the Board of Pharmacy office at least 45 days before the opening date of the facility or effective date of a change. An on-site inspection is required before a permit will be issued.

Permit Holders that are relocating their facility within the same city are required to submit a Relocation Application to the Board of Pharmacy office at least 45 days before the relocation occurs.

New Pharmacy Permit Application

A Pharmacy Permit is required for any outlet located in South Carolina that dispenses drugs requiring a prescription or order from a practitioner licensed to prescribe drugs. A permit holder and a pharmacist-in-charge must be designated on every pharmacy permit application.

Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Permit Application

A Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Permit is required for any outlet located in South Carolina that administers and/or stores legend drugs. Facilities requiring a Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Permit include, but are not limited to, clinics, wholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors. A Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Permit requires a consultant pharmacist, unless the facility is engaged in manufacturing, wholesaling, or distributing.

If the outlet possesses, dispenses or stores controlled substances in South Carolina, a South Carolina Controlled Substances Registration from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Division of Drug Control and a Federal DEA Registration must be obtained prior to engaging in such activity. Neither the State Controlled Substances Registration nor the Federal DEA Registration will be issued until after the State Pharmacy or Drug Outlet Permit has been issued; however, you may submit all of the applications to the respective agencies at the same time, indicating that the State permit number is pending.

Medical Gases/Legend Device Permit Application

A Medical Gases/Legend Devices Permit allows a facility to dispense to a patient or to a patient's agent medical gases and legend devices on the order of a licensed practitioner. A Medical Gases/Legend Devices Permit allows a Medical Director, Respiratory Therapist, Registered Nurse, or Consultant Pharmacist to be responsible and accountable for duties of the Consultant Pharmacist as provided in section 40-43-86 (C).

A Non-Resident Pharmacy Permit authorizes facilities outside of this State whose primary business is filling mail order or internet prescriptions to engage in the sale, distribution, or dispensing of legend drugs or devices in this State.

A Non-Resident Wholesale Distributor Permit is required for all wholesalers, distributors and brokers that wish to do business in this state.
