J.F. Forbes Chemist

About Us

Introduced into the M & D Green group in June 2010, Forbes Chemist has a long history in the town of Bishopbriggs. The strong values and personal service maintained by the family run pharmacy have been continued and developed following the acquisition. The staff take great pride in the lasting relations they have with their customers and always put the customer at the forefront of everything they do.

Located on Kirkintilloch Road in the village centre of Bishopbriggs, Forbes Chemist offers convenient and accessible access to a range of healthcare products and advice. Through the repeat prescription service, they place medication requests and collect prescriptions from all local surgeries on a daily basis. Completed prescriptions can be collected from the pharmacy or delivered direct to your door by appropriately trained pharmacy assistants, who will pass on any information from the pharmacist and also take any questions you may have about your medicines back to the pharmacist who will give you a call with the necessary advice. The entire team at Forbes Chemist are exceptionally approachable and they not only welcome but encourage any questions you may have about your medicines or general health.

The pharmacy has recently expanded and now includes an automated 24/7 prescription collection point which allows you to collect your prescription 365 days a year without having to wait for the pharmacy open. Your regular pharmacist will still be available for advice in person or by telephone.
