I would like to open a pharmacy. Selling only over-the-counter and herbal medicines. Seeking specific procedures for the process. Need a pharmacist license?

In general, the investment to open a pharmacy procedures are more troublesome, in addition to the need to go to do business license, tax registration certificate, health permit, health certificate, etc., but also need to "drug business license", "medical equipment business license" and so on. And drug retail stores have a lot of hardware and software requirements, mainly hardware housing equipment, etc., software is mainly professional pharmacist license, previously one person, now to two pharmacist license. Subsequently, you can go to the location of the drug supervision department to apply for a drug business license, and then to the business tax and other departments to go through the relevant procedures, the main difficulty is in the Drug Administration, if you do not have acquaintances there is very difficult to pass; the amount of investment varies depending on the situation, my side of the general will be in the 100,000 or so.

Here are some details:

1. Business premises of not less than 20 square meters, (countryside pharmacy does not require a warehouse). There should be at least one resident pharmacist and one salesman (who should be graduated from high school or above or related to pharmacy, or who has obtained a license through the examination of the drug administration department).

2. To apply for the "drug license", "medical device license", and then also to do business license, tax registration certificate, health license, health certificate.

If it is in the city to open the pharmacy will have these conditions:

1. Business site of not less than 40 square meters, warehouse of not less than 20 square meters. There should be at least one resident pharmacist, a salesman (to be above high school or pharmacy-related graduates or after the drug supervision department to obtain a license).

2. To apply for the "drug business license", "medical equipment business license", and then have to go to the business license, tax registration certificate, health permit, health certificate.

Newly opened pharmacies also have to implement GSP certification, GSP means: quality management of drug business, everything should be operated in accordance with the GSP model.

According to the "Drug Administration Law", the opening of the pharmaceutical business, must have the following conditions: (1) with the qualification of pharmacy technicians according to the law; (2) with the operation of the drugs appropriate business premises, equipment, storage facilities, sanitation; (3) with the operation of the drugs appropriate quality management organization or personnel; (4) with the operation of the quality of pharmaceuticals The rules and regulations of the business.

When applying for the opening of a pharmacy, you should apply to the municipal drug supervision and management organization in your location or the county drug supervision and management organization directly set up by the drug supervision and management department of the people's government of the province, autonomous region or municipality directly under the central government. After applying for the "drug business license", then to the administrative department for industry and commerce for registration.

Franchise chain stores also have to go through the above procedures; just use the signboard of the La Chain Store.

Because of geographical differences in the specific amount I recommend that you go to the local government center of the Drug Administration window (or Drug Administration) to consult, request information, figure out the procedure, the key is to request the "Pharmacy Acceptance Criteria", to see whether they can meet.

Finally, it is recommended that you look more into the local pharmacy's business conditions and other circumstances.

I hope to help you, I wish you success!
