Florida Doc Loses DEA License Over Sketchy Pill Prescriptions Bust
Published Date: 7/25/2025
Notice
Summary
Dr. Taha Dias from Florida lost his DEA registration because he gave out controlled substance prescriptions in ways that broke the law between 2022 and 2023. Since he didn’t ask for a hearing, the DEA officially revoked his license, meaning he can’t prescribe these drugs anymore. This decision protects the public and took effect after the government’s final review in early 2025.

DEA Registration Revoked — No Controlled Drugs
The DEA revoked Taha Dias, M.D.'s Certificate of Registration No. BD9971208, effective August 25, 2025. The Order says he can no longer prescribe controlled substances and that any pending applications to renew, modify, or obtain DEA registration in Florida are denied.
Default Admission for Failing to Seek Hearing
The record shows Dr. Dias did not request a hearing and was deemed in default under 21 CFR 1301.43; that default admitted the OSC's factual allegations. The Agency found he issued at least 18 prescriptions lacking a legitimate medical purpose between July 5, 2022 and December 4, 2023, including promethazine with codeine, oxycodone, and alprazolam.
