Peak Pharmacies provides specialized medication management for aged care facilities using Best Med/DoseAid packaging systems. Our services include twice-daily deliveries, 24-hour on-call support, and quarterly staff training. We supply medications in individual sachets clearly labeled with patient details for safe administration by care staff.
Medication Compounding
Our Leopold pharmacy creates personalized medications tailored to specific patient needs. This includes alternative formulations for allergies, discontinued medications, and specialized treatments for dermatological conditions, pain management, and veterinary applications. Compounding allows customized strength and dosage forms not available in mass-produced medicines.
Vaccination Programs
We administer influenza, COVID-19 boosters, pertussis, shingles, HPV, and travel vaccinations. Pharmacists provide expert advice on vaccination schedules, with some vaccines available through national immunization programs. Pre-booking is recommended for specialized vaccines requiring prior ordering.
Home Medicine Reviews
Specially accredited pharmacists conduct comprehensive medication reviews in patients' homes. This service benefits those taking multiple medications, experiencing side effects, or needing clarification on complex treatment regimens. Reviews help optimize medication use and prevent potential drug interactions.

Always helpful and understanding! I called about a persistant pain, and through asking the right questions, the pharmacist suggested a drug free solution that really made a difference.

Excellent service with assisting me as a new customer. They were very helpful in getting all of my medications organized for overseas travel. I am very happy with their service thus far! Thanks to the 2 women chemist who went out of their way to help me during a stressful time.
