What To Do When Your FL CDR Quits

Here's what the Florida Division of Drugs, Devices and Cosmetics says . . .

Customer Help:   "DIVISION OF DRUGS, DEVICES AND COSMETICS

My company is a prescription drug wholesale distributor (in-state or out-of-state). Our Certified Designated Representative (CDR) just quit. What do we do?

Notify the department within 10 business days from the CDR’s separation. Your company may continue to distribute prescription drugs in or into Florida during that 10-business day-period. After that period expires, however, your company must either (a) engage a replacement CDR and notify the department of same or (b) cease prescription drug distributions in or into Florida.

The Department can, upon written request to appropriate personnel, provide a list of all unaffiliated CDR’s."

How To Renew Your CA Pharmacy Designated Representative License

According to the CA Board of Pharmacy:

"Approximately 6 weeks before the expiration date of your license, a renewal application will be mailed to your last known address of record. Licensees are responsible for renewing their licenses even if they do not receive a renewal notice. The Board does not send duplicate renewal applications. If you have not received the renewal notice within 4 weeks of expiration of the license, you may renew your license by submitting a Request for Renewal form. Do not submit a renewal request more than 60 days before the expiration date of the license." (Source: Information for Licensees)

In case you need the Request for Renewal form, go here, to License Renewal, to find the link to the most current version of the Request for Renewal of Designated Representative form.
