How many days prior to closure must customers be notified of a pharmacy's impending closure?

Customers must be notified at least 15 days prior to a pharmacy's impending closure to ensure a smooth transition and allow adequate time for patients to make alternative arrangements for their medications. This notification period is designed to protect the public by ensuring that patients are informed well in advance, allowing them to obtain refills, transfer prescriptions, and seek out other healthcare options without interruption in their pharmaceutical care.

This requirement not only supports patient safety and continuity of care but also complies with regulatory mandates that govern pharmacy operations. By providing early notice, pharmacies fulfill their legal obligations while maintaining trust within the community.
