Located within the Asda superstore in Whitley Bay, NE12 9HN, Asda Pharmacy is a community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1037745. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection. Being based inside a supermarket makes it a convenient stop for picking up prescriptions alongside the weekly shop. Community pharmacies of this type generally handle dispensing, stock a range of over-the-counter products and can offer basic health advice, though the precise services available depend on the branch, so it is worth checking directly before visiting. Contact details and opening hours are shown further down this page. Something worth knowing if you have a long-term condition that has not responded well to standard treatments: since 2018 it has been legal in the UK for specialist doctors to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through dedicated clinics, not regular pharmacies.
