the health and welfare of the residents of Wyoming regarding pharmaceutical services.

of Wyoming. If the complaint can be validated, and is within the purview of the
Wyoming State Board of Pharmacy, the Board will take administrative action against
the licensee/registrant;
- has the authority to revoke, suspend, or issue a letter of admonition and/or assess
an administrative penalty against a licensee/registrant if a violation of the Wyoming
Pharmacy Act or Wyoming Controlled Substance Act, or their respective Rules and

administrative sanctions against a licensee/registrant through investigations initiated
by the Board office or by consumer complaints.
