The Reading Pharmacy
Community pharmacy
A community pharmacy serving the local area, The Reading Pharmacy is based in Reading, Berkshire, RG6 1LN. It is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1029006 and passed its most recent GPhC inspection, giving patients a clear mark of confidence when choosing where to get their medicines and health advice. Community pharmacies like this one tend to handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock a range of over-the-counter products and offer guidance on everyday health concerns. That said, what any individual pharmacy provides can differ, so getting in touch directly is always the sensible step before making a trip. Contact details and opening hours are listed further down this page. It is also worth knowing that since 2018 it has been lawful for specialists in the UK to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through dedicated specialist clinics, not community pharmacies.
