Rokshaw Laboratories can today announce the launch of the first UK range of medical cannabis flower, manufactured in our MHRA approved manufacturing facility in Sunderland.

Ensuring the highest level of product quality, Rokshaw is now able to manufacture a full range of medical cannabis flower, in addition to our current full spectrum oil range, to meet growing patient demand.

As part of the EMMAC Life Sciences Group, we are able to import raw material through our integrated supply chain to manufacture an extensive range of high quality, UK manufactured medical cannabis, available in a variety of different strengths and formulations of THC and CBD to ensure the individual needs of each patient are met every time.

With our in-house state-of-the-art UK MHRA approved manufacturing facility, along with a vastly experienced team and a comprehensive quality management system, Rokshaw ensures outstanding pharmaceutical grade product quality at a more affordable price than ever before.

We are already a trusted manufacturer of Specials for more than 2,600 pharmacies, hospitals and dispensing doctors across the UK, adding our range of medical cannabis to our vast number of formulations manufactured on-site.

Jonathan Hodgson, CEO of Rokshaw Laboratories: “We are delighted that we can finally start manufacturing medical cannabis flower in the UK, in addition to our full spectrum oil range, to ease some of the burden for patients who have had significant extra stress caused by the delays and increased costs of importing the medicine they so desperately need.”

Richard Hodgson, Managing Director of Rokshaw Laboratories: “The addition of medical cannabis flower to our UK manufactured range is a significant moment for us but most importantly for the numerous patients who have struggled to access or afford the treatment they desperately need. Due to our fully integrated supply chain, we can ensure reliability for this vital medicine and manufacture a high quality affordable product from our state of the art facility.”

We Want to Say Thank You!

We recognise that we are all going through unprecedented times now and we are extremely grateful for the fantastic work that community pharmacies are doing daily.

The service that pharmacies provide, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak is nothing short of amazing and we are extremely grateful for all that you do.

As a way of saying a thank you we have teamed up with Blossom, a CBD Wellness and Cosmetics supplier, to provide all our pharmacy customers with a complementary CBD Rescue Cream. We know that your hands are going through a busy time right now, so a hydrating and soothing CBD cream should hopefully go a long way.

After providing vital medication to community pharmacies across the UK for several years, we understand the outstanding job that pharmacists provide, so from all of us we want to say…

Thank You and Stay Safe
