McArdle Pharmacy

Community pharmacy
Folkestone, Kent is home to McArdle Pharmacy, a community pharmacy at CT19 5NJ registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1088498. The pharmacy passed its most recent GPhC inspection and is owned by Kiavi Limited. Community pharmacies of this kind typically handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock a range of over-the-counter medicines and provide general health advice to local residents. The specific services available can differ from one pharmacy to another, so contacting McArdle Pharmacy directly before visiting is advisable. Phone number and opening hours are listed further down the page. It is worth knowing that since 2018 it has been legal for doctors in the UK to prescribe medical cannabis for certain conditions, though this happens through specialist clinics rather than community pharmacies.
