NH Board of Pharmacy (OPLC) – Concord, NH

About the Board of Pharmacy

The New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy is headquartered at the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC) at 7 Eagle Square in downtown Concord. This regulatory board acts as the primary licensing authority for the pharmaceutical profession in the state, ensuring the safe distribution of prescription drugs and the competence of pharmacy practitioners. By consolidating its administrative operations within the OPLC, the Board provides a centralized location for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and interns to manage their licensure and compliance requirements.

Licensing and Compliance Services

At this location, the Board processes applications for new licenses, renewals, and reciprocity agreements for out-of-state practitioners. The OPLC staff assists with the administrative aspects of pharmacy facility permits, including those for retail pharmacies, hospitals, and compounding centers. The Board also oversees the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP), a critical tool in addressing public health concerns related to controlled substances. Regular board meetings are held here to review disciplinary cases and discuss changes to pharmacy regulations.
