The National Medicines Regulatory Authority (NMRA) has granted a grace period until December 31, 2025, for all licensed retail pharmacies to renew their expired licenses.

This concession is crucial because, effective January 1, 2026, the NMRA will strictly enforce Clause 101 (2) of its regulations. This clause stipulates that a license will be

automatically cancelled if the renewal application is not submitted within three months of the current license's expiry date. Pharmacy owners are therefore advised to submit

renewals promptly to avoid cancellation.
