Frequently asked questions

Mama Dispensary was founded by Ally, a mum of one—soon to be two—and is run alongside fellow pharmacist, mum and long time friend, Samantha. Our mission is to take the guesswork out of maternal and baby wellness. Even with more than 25 years of combined pharmacy experience, we understand how overwhelming it can be to figure out which products are safe, suitable, and effective at every stage of motherhood.

If you have any questions, please contact us by emailing: hello@mamadispensary.co.nz

Once you place your order, one of our pharmacists will review your answers and ensure it is safe for you and your family. Once reviewed, we will pack and send your parcel out promptly. If there are any issues, we will contact you as soon as possible.
