Two Philly Pharmacies Booted from DEA Over Record-Keeping Fails
Published Date: 4/16/2025
Notice
Summary
Empire Pharmacy and Skyline Pharmacy in Philadelphia lost their DEA registrations because they didn’t keep proper records of controlled substances, which could risk public safety. Their registrations were suspended immediately, and since they didn’t ask for a hearing, the suspension and revocation are now final. This means they can’t legally handle controlled drugs anymore, affecting their business and customers starting now.

Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Pending Renewals and New Registrations Denied
The DEA not only revoked the pharmacies' registrations but also denied any pending applications by Empire Pharmacy Inc. and Skyline Pharmacy Inc. to renew, modify, or obtain additional DEA registrations in Pennsylvania. The denial is effective May 16, 2025, blocking these businesses from legally regaining or expanding controlled-substance registration in the State.
Two Philly Pharmacies Can’t Dispense Controlled Drugs
The DEA revoked the registrations for Empire Pharmacy Inc. (DEA No. FE8167733) and Skyline Pharmacy Inc. (DEA No. FS0903840), so they may no longer legally handle or dispense controlled substances. The revocations are final and the Order is effective May 16, 2025, meaning customers who relied on these pharmacies for controlled medications will need to get those prescriptions elsewhere.
