What is the maximum duration for which a controlled substance can be dispensed after ownership transfer prior to DHEC registration?

30 days
60 days
90 days
120 days

The correct answer is: 60 days

The correct maximum duration for which a controlled substance can be dispensed after ownership transfer prior to DHEC registration is 60 days. This regulation is put in place to ensure the safe and appropriate handling of controlled substances during the transition of ownership. It allows for some flexibility in managing inventory while ensuring compliance with legal standards set by the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). This 60-day period is designed to balance the needs of the pharmacy to operate effectively during a change in ownership while also safeguarding public health and ensuring accountability in the dispensing of medication.
