Nicknamed from one of our favorite family movies, “Herbie,” if the Drug Bug is not out making a delivery, you can find it parked at home base in front of the pharmacy at 69 Knox Way, Suite 110, in Chapel Hill. Our VW Beetle is hard to miss with its Argyle racing stripe running up the side and a large helping of our tasty Maple View Ice Cream in a bowl on top of the bug and on the doors.

If you have an urgent need, we can even get your prescription to you that very same day. Going out of town? We can stop by before you leave. The best part is – no delivery fees! The Drug Bug loves getting out and about and we love making things easier on you!

Skip the Online Pharmacy and Enjoy Free Delivery With 501 Pharmacy

Online pharmacies can be a tempting option due to their convenience, but buying prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs on the internet from a company you don’t know personally means you may not know exactly what you are getting. Here at 501 Pharmacy in Chapel Hill, we have taken the guess work out of ordering online but kept the convenience of having your prescriptions delivered right to your door!

Online Drug Dangers

Many online pharmacies, especially ones that do not require a prescription, often sell unapproved drugs that are counterfeit or poorly made. Ordering from online sites not only puts your body at risk, it also puts your personal and financial information at risk. You may find yourself getting bombarded with spam e-mails or find that your personal information has been stolen. This is a large price to pay to avoid driving to the pharmacy. You also have to deal with delivery fees and waiting on your prescriptions to come in the mail or via a shipping service. With 501 Pharmacy, you can enjoy free delivery as well as same-day delivery, when available.

Get Free Delivery With 501 Pharmacy

We are currently offering free delivery within a five-mile radius of our pharmacy address: 69 Knox Way, Suite 110, Chapel Hill, NC 27516. However, if your needs fall outside of that five-mile radius we will consider each address on a case-by-case basis, so hit us up!

When you get your prescription and delivery through 501 Pharmacy, you know you are getting exactly what the doctor prescribed. Co-owners Greg Vassie and Han Su have a combined 35 years of pharmacy experience and will always make time to talk to you or make an appointment to discuss your medications, potential drug interactions, compounding, and any other pharmaceutical needs that you may have. We offer personalized customer service, locally-manufactured products when available, and a wide selection of quality over-the-counter products.

Plus, our prescriptions are delivered by our friendly “Drug Bug!”
