About Us

We are long-time residents of Madison, MS and we love our community.  We had visions of creating an amazing pharmacy that would care for its patients while being involved in the community, and as a result Brick City Drugs was born.  We took the things that mattered the most to us such as intentional patient care, excellent customer service, community involvement and flexibility and started what we hope will be your pharmacy home.  We care about families at Brick City Drugs, and we hope we get the opportunity to know and serve yours.
