Schedule a Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Discovery CallWhat Is a Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet?
NDDO stands for Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet. In South Carolina, the Board of Pharmacy describes a Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Permit as a permit required for a facility located in South Carolina that administers and/or stores legend drugs. The Board notes that facilities requiring this permit include, but are not limited to, clinics, and that a Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Permit requires a consultant pharmacist.
A Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet is different from a pharmacy. The focus is not dispensing prescriptions to patients. The focus is the storage, administration, handling, documentation, and control of legend drugs and/or devices within a permitted healthcare operation.
Prescribe Better helps healthcare operators organize the medication-use systems that support this type of operation, including storage practices, medication logs, policies, documentation, medication movement, and pharmacist review.
South Carolina Board of Pharmacy Context
The South Carolina Board of Pharmacy states that a Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Permit is required for South Carolina facilities that administer and/or store legend drugs. The Board also states that a Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Permit requires a consultant pharmacist.
The Board further notes that facilities or entities not owned 100% by a South Carolina licensed practitioner may be required to have a Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet permit to store and administer legend drugs and/or devices. Facilities not owned 100% by a South Carolina licensed practitioner cannot dispense, and may only store and administer when appropriately permitted.

Common Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet Areas Reviewed
Each operation is different, but Non-Dispensing Drug Outlet consulting commonly involves review of the systems that control how medications are received, stored, accessed, documented, administered, wasted, disposed, moved, and monitored.
Medication Storage
Review of medication storage areas, temperature expectations, access control, segregation, dating, labeling, expired product removal, and organization.
Documentation Systems
Review of logs for drug receipt, use, waste, disposal, temperature, cleaning, staff training, and other medication-related records.
Policy and Procedure Review
Review of written procedures for medication handling, medication orders, emergency response, documentation, access control, and operational boundaries.

When questions involve legal interpretation, professional scope, ownership structure, permit status, or regulatory approval, those issues should be reviewed with the appropriate attorney, licensing board, medical director, or regulator.
