Tailored medication to suit your specific needs
Greenleaf Pharmacies make compounded medicines to best suit the individual needs of our patients. Our compounded medications are made either on site in the pharmacy, or at our specifically modified compounding lab. All medications are made from scratch to the exact strength and dosage required. This allows our pharmacist to work with you, and your practitioner to best meet your exact medication requirements.

Greenleaf's compounding procedure
Our compounding team will manufacture just about any medication that your doctor requests. Using Fagron & Medisca products that are manufactured in line with the lofty standards of the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) to ensure your compounded product meets the highest standard of quality control.
Most common compound orders can be completed within 24 – 48 hours of your pharmacy receiving your script. However, as not all medication or specific requirements are the same, your pharmacist will be able to provide a more accurate completion estimate in store.
If picking up your compounded medication from the pharmacy is not convenient, we can arrange free delivery to your home or work! See our Delivery Terms for more information.
