Recent Answered Questions

How long will it take my pharmacy to become compliant?

The time required to become DSCSA compliant varies based on your current processes, technology readiness, and trading partner connectivity. For most pharmacies, implementation typically takes a few weeks to a few months, depending on system setup, data testing, and staff training. Starting early helps reduce disruption and allows time to resolve issues before full enforcement.

I am a small dispenser. Can I wait until the November 27, 2026 deadline to begin compliance efforts?

No. Four of six core DSCSA compliance requirements are in effect already. Even with an exemption through November 27, 2026, the FDA expects active, good-faith progress toward compliance with the balance. Waiting until the deadline increases the risk of disrupted trading relationships and compliance failures once enforcement resumes.
