The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued an Order to Show Cause and Immediate Suspension of Registrations to Empire Pharmacy and Skyline Pharmacy in Philadelphia, claiming their activities posed an imminent danger to public health. Between 2019 and 2023, the pharmacies failed to maintain accurate records of controlled substances, violating federal and state laws. When the pharmacies did not request a hearing to dispute these claims, the DEA moved forward with final actions to revoke their registrations. Due to their failure to comply and their inadequate responses, the DEA decided to revoke both pharmacies' DEA Certificates of Registration.
Simple Explanation
Two pharmacies in Philadelphia got into trouble because they didn't keep track of their medicines properly, and this was dangerous, so the government stopped them from being allowed to sell certain drugs anymore.
