The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has revoked the DEA Certificate of Registration for Herold Pierre-Louis, a physician assistant from Tucson, Arizona. This decision stems from the Arizona Regulatory Board of Physician Assistants revoking Pierre-Louis's license, leaving him unable to legally handle controlled substances in Arizona. The DEA's ruling is based on federal law, which requires practitioners to have state authorization to dispense controlled substances. Without this state license, Pierre-Louis cannot maintain his federal registration, and all pending applications for his registration have been denied.
Simple Explanation
The DEA took away Dr. Pierre-Louis's permission to give out certain medicines because he lost his license to be a doctor in Arizona. Without that license, he can't keep the federal permission he needs to handle those medicines.
