Pittsburgh’s Only Green Pharmacy


MAA’s owner, Susan Merenstein, is an eco-thinker. When the Apothecary opened in 2007, she used as many green construction materials as possible, and continues to make business decisions with the environment in mind.

We use only veggie capsules and fillers in our compounds, and prescriptions are dispensed in green, recycled and recyclable packaging. At MAA, all of our paper waste gets recycled and we make a conscious effort to use eco-friendly supplies—from our coffee cups to coreless toilet paper!

We pay special attention to people's allergies and needs. No soy derived hormones or fillers are used in our compounds.

We sell supplements that are hand-picked by the pharmacist. Most of our supplements are gluten-free, corn-free, dairy-free, and soy-free.


Pitch In!

MAA's Free Recycling Program is one way for you to get involved! Recycle your prescription vials, bottles, and other plastic medication containers and reduce your carbon footprint. Every little bit helps!

How does it work?

Simply bring your empty medicine bottles—with or without the labels on them—into the pharmacy and we’ll do the rest!

What are the benefits?

Every little bit counts! As Pittsburgh’s Only Green Pharmacy, we encourage you to join our earthy efforts. Doing just one small thing helps to reduce the garbage in landfills, maintain our natural resources, and keep our earth beautiful!
