standards, and any pharmacist who fails to meet the practice standards may be
required to forfeit not less than $25 nor more than $50 for each offense, and may be
subject to disciplinary action. Disciplinary action may include a reprimand, denial,
limitation, suspension or revocation of the pharmacist's license, and a forfeiture of
