Houghton Pharmacy
Community pharmacy
Houghton Pharmacy serves the local community in Houghton le Spring, Tyne and Wear, DH5 8EL. It is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1117007 and is operated by Core Pharma Limited. As a community pharmacy, it is one of those everyday local services that people rely on for prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines and straightforward health guidance. Because what each pharmacy offers can differ, it is a good idea to get in touch before your visit to confirm what is available. Contact details and opening hours are listed further down this page. For anyone managing a long-term condition where familiar treatments have fallen short, it is worth being aware that medical cannabis has been legal to prescribe in the UK since 2018 for certain conditions. This happens through specialist clinics, not through community pharmacies.
