The Department of Health and Human Services may, by regulation, whenever such action becomes necessary for the protection of the public, prohibit the sale of any poison, subject to the provisions of this section, except upon the original written order or prescription of those practitioners credentialed under the Uniform Credentialing Act who are duly authorized by law to administer or professionally use those poisons specifically named in section 71-2501.

The rules and regulations must be applicable to all persons alike, and it shall be the duty of the department, upon request, to furnish any person, authorized by sections 71-2501 to 71-2511 to sell or dispense any poisons, with a list of all articles, preparations, and compounds the sale of which is prohibited or regulated by such sections.
