(a) Suspension of the offender’s license for a term to be determined by the board;
(b) Revocation of the offender’s license;
(c) Restriction of the offender’s license to prohibit the offender from performing certain acts or from engaging in the practice of pharmacy in a particular manner for a term to be determined by the board;
(d) A civil penalty not to exceed:
(A) $1,000 for each offense committed by an individual; and
(B) $10,000 for each offense committed by a drug outlet;
(e) Refusal to renew offender’s license; or
(f) Placement of the offender on probation and supervision by the board for a period to be determined by the board.
(2) Any person whose license issued pursuant to this chapter has been suspended, revoked or restricted pursuant to this chapter, whether voluntarily or by action of the board, shall have the right, at reasonable intervals, to petition the board for reinstatement of such license.

Upon investigation and hearing, the board may in its discretion grant or deny such petition, or it may modify its original finding to reflect any circumstances which have changed sufficiently to warrant such modifications.
