Countesthorpe Chemist, also trading as 123 Meds, My Weight Loss Pharmacy and Rx Direct, is a GPhC-registered community pharmacy in Leicester, LE8 5QJ. It is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1034030 and has passed its most recent GPhC inspection. The registered owner is Saffron Apothecaries (Leicester) Ltd. As a community pharmacy, it handles the kinds of services you would generally expect, such as dispensing prescriptions, supplying over-the-counter medicines and offering basic health guidance. That said, services do differ between pharmacies, so it is worth getting in touch directly to confirm what is available at this branch. Contact details and opening hours are shown further down this page. On a separate note, since 2018 it has been lawful for specialist clinicians in the UK to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through dedicated specialist clinics, not through ordinary pharmacies.
