Company profile
researched Aug 2026Capsule (Capsule Corporation) operates a consumer pharmacy that patients use from their phones instead of visiting a retail store. After a customer signs up, Capsule coordinates with their previous pharmacy or prescribing physician to transfer or obtain prescriptions, then schedules a free same-day delivery at a time the customer selects. Any doctor can send a prescription directly to Capsule.
The service also includes ongoing medication management: customers can privately chat or text with Capsule pharmacists, view and manage all of their medications in one place, and receive text notifications when refills are due, with Capsule coordinating the refill with the prescribing doctor. Delivery availability is determined by zip code, and the site provides a lookup for serviced locations.
