In its effort to crack down on addictive painkillers like oxycodone, the DEA has revoked the controlled substance licenses of two CVS Caremark Corp drugstores in Florida, Reuters reports.
The two stores, about 30 miles south of the Orlando, contend they did nothing wrong and were busy pharmacies.
The DEA, however, alleges the stores inappropriately sold oxycodone and potentially other controlled substances, according to Reuters.
The DEA said the use of painkillers is reaching epidemic levels and is now more popular than heroin and cocaine combined, Reuters reported.
