Russell's Pharmacy & Shoppe is an independent pharmacy located in the historic business district of Old East Durham at 2116 Angier Avenue, Durham, NC 27703. We are a full-service pharmacy that offers prescription medications, immunizations, comprehensive medication reviews/medication therapy management services, in-depth health counseling, over the counter (OTC) medicines and non-prescription products.

Owners Darius and Terensia Russell, along with partners, primary goal at Russell's Pharmacy & Shoppe is to provide the best and most complete pharmaceutical care possible to all our patients. We provide this excellent pharmaceutical care through counseling, medication therapy management, and individual attention given to each patient who enters the pharmacy.
Services
An estimated 50 percent or more of medications for chronic conditions, such as high cholesterol and diabetes, are not taken as prescribed. Medication non-adherence can lead to worsening health conditions, hospitalizations and death. Whatever the reason is for medication non-adherence, we have a solution for you.
Medication therapy management, otherwise known as MTM, is a term used for a program to help you manage your medications and health conditions. Do you want to know how best to take your medications to get the most from your medications?. Would you like to have a complete list of the medications you take for your personal use?.
Want to get a health checkup without going to the doctor? We offer onsite health screenings that allow you to get more information on your health without having to make a trip to the doctor. Our highly qualified staff can provide these screenings to give you more information on your health, health goals, and ways to reach those goals.
When it comes to disease prevention, immunizations are key. Getting vaccinated protects you and those around you. Our main focus is to help you and your loved ones stay up-to-date on the recommended vaccines. We offer a variety of immunizations. Our highly qualified staff can easily administer these immunizations here at the pharmacy.
You may find that you have been prescribed a number of medications, and that you need to take them at different times of the day. It can be difficult to keep track of what medication you need to take and when. We offer a multi-dose packaging that bundles your medications together by date and time. For example, all your medications that are to be taken in the morning will be packaged together in one pack.

They ordered something OTC for me quickly, remembered me and delivered on the agreed upon price. Darius also took time to talk to me about medicines and COVID19 which is on all our minds.

Wonderful local spot full of charm and caring. Went in to get my Covid booster yesterday and am NOT a fan of shots or needles. Darius Russell personally administered the vaccine and took great care to keep me calm and comfortable the entire time. Can't recommend enough!

Absolutely hands down the best Pharmacy and staff in town. Love the fact if you call you don't have to press 10 different robotic prompts just to speak to a live person. You feel like Dr. Russell is genuinely interested in providing you with the best care and not just filling your RX and sending you on your way. Everyone is friendly and I love the option of delivery when I need it.
Keep being AWESOME Russell's Pharmacy staff!

I don't think you will find a cleaner, brighter, more welcoming pharmacy anywhere else in Durham. It's a delightful little establishment and the customer service is exceptional -- great prices too!
My fiance and I loved our visit to Russell's Pharmacy and will be returning for our next prescriptions etc.

Great, friendly atmosphere where the staff treats patients like an extension of their own family! Dr. Russell offers a variety of FREE pharmacy services (delivery of meds & OTC products, medication review, blister packaging) and actual patient-centered care. Do yourself a big favor and get your prescriptions transferred here!!!

Absolutely excellent. I have never had more kind, convenient, and competent care than I have at Russell's. Dr. Russel makes it a point to always say hello and goodbye whenever I stop into the pharmacy, no matter what he is up to. They also offer a very convenient and FREE delivery to anywhere in Durham! I cannot recommend this place enough!!!

Ever since switching to Russell's Pharmacy, my experience getting prescriptions has been exponentially easier! Dr. Russell and everyone who works there is so kind and caring. I just had an insurance issue with one of my prescriptions and Dr. Russell went above and beyond to help me with getting answers. We had to settle the issue with coupons, which he referred me to. Also the pharm techs who work there and deliver are all very kind! Another great thing is that we get our dogs' medications through them--just a great pharmacy overall! I much prefer them over Walgreens. Thank you Russell's!

This pharmacy is exceptional! Customer service is far above what I normally expect from a pharmacy. They pulled out the stops to make my visit comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable. Getting to know Darius (Dr. Russell) was a real highlight of my visit and it was so fun to talk about the pharmaceutical memorabilia on the shelves. If you need a prescription filled, any over the counter meds or bandages, or just need a friendly face, a snack, or a cup of coffee, I highly recommend stopping by Russell's.

I can’t recommend this place highly enough! The amount of individual care and service far exceeds anything you can find at a chain pharmacy. Darius is knowledgeable and helpful and goes the extra mile to make sure I have what I need, including finding another pharmacy for me on the one occasion that they would not be able to get what I needed in time. Everyone at the shop has always been nothing but friendly. The experience is head and shoulders above shopping at Walgreens! Please support this small family business. They will make it worth your while.

I can not say enough amazing things about Russell's Pharmacy & Shoppe. I became a customer when they opened and the care, help, and attention that they have given me and my little family is outstanding and far exceeds anything I have experienced. My baby had some surgeries and complications before he turned one and Russell's not only fulfilled everything we needed, they checked back in, answered questions, and gave me the peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and going to be ok. I completely trust the entire staff with our health needs and feel so lucky that we found Russell's.
