Ryders Chemist
Community pharmacy
Ryders Chemist is a GPhC-registered community pharmacy located in Rochester, Kent, ME1 1JT. It holds General Pharmaceutical Council registration number 1032911 and passed its most recent GPhC inspection. The pharmacy is owned and operated by Paydens Ltd. As a community pharmacy, it will typically handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock over-the-counter medicines and provide general health guidance. Services can differ between branches, so contacting the pharmacy directly before visiting is sensible. Opening times and contact details are listed further down this page. It is worth knowing that the UK government made it lawful to prescribe cannabis-based medicines in 2018 for certain conditions. This happens through specialist clinics, not through community pharmacies.
