Asda Pharmacy
Open Sundays
Community pharmacy
A community pharmacy serving the Colchester area, Asda Pharmacy is based in CO4 5TU and registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1095381. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection, which is good to know for anyone choosing where to take their prescriptions. Sitting within an Asda store makes it a convenient stop for local residents who want to collect a prescription or pick up an over-the-counter remedy alongside their weekly shop. Community pharmacies generally handle prescriptions, stock everyday medicines and offer basic health guidance, though the exact range of services differs from branch to branch, so it is worth checking directly before you visit. Opening times and contact details are listed further down this page. For anyone managing a long-term health condition where standard treatments have fallen short, it is useful to know that specialist clinicians have been able to prescribe medical cannabis in the UK since 2018 for certain conditions. Ordinary pharmacies are not part of that process.
