How often are wholesale facilities subject to inspection by the board or designated third party?

In New Mexico, wholesale facilities are required to undergo inspection every three years. This regular inspection cycle is essential for ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations governing the distribution and handling of pharmaceuticals. The inspections help verify that these facilities maintain proper records, storage conditions, and overall operational standards necessary for protecting public health and ensuring the safety and efficacy of medications.

Regular inspections also serve as a means of accountability, allowing the regulatory board to monitor changes in practices, address any emerging concerns, and enforce compliance with the state’s laws and regulations. This three-year interval balances the need for oversight with the operational realities of pharmacies and wholesalers, promoting a safe pharmaceutical supply chain.
