Leiston Pharmacy

Community pharmacy
Leiston Pharmacy is a community pharmacy serving Leiston, Suffolk, IP16 4BZ. It is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 9010964 and passed its most recent GPhC inspection. The pharmacy is owned and operated by Bencas Chemist Limited. As a community pharmacy, it handles prescription medicines, stocks over-the-counter products and provides general health advice to local patients. The range of services can differ between pharmacies, so contacting Leiston Pharmacy directly before visiting is a sensible step. Opening hours and contact details are listed 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 specialist clinics, not through community pharmacies.
