Reading's Asda Pharmacy, located at RG6 5TT, is a community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1119286. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection. Sitting inside an Asda superstore, the pharmacy offers the convenience of sorting prescriptions alongside a regular shop. Community pharmacies of this type generally handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock over-the-counter products and provide basic health advice, though the exact range of services can vary. It is worth contacting the pharmacy directly to confirm what is available. Opening hours and contact details are listed further down this page. On a separate note, since November 2018 it has been lawful for specialist doctors in the UK to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through specialist clinics, not community pharmacies.
