Brown's Drug Store 115 West Jefferson Avenue, Effingham, IL 62401

"Looking for tubular gauze. Went to 3 "drug" stores before coming here. All either didn't carry it or lied that they did. This place had it, nice employees. Bought it, will be back if needed."

"This is not the first but the second time I have almost been hit by this businesses delivery cars. The first incident the driver was a woman with short hair who should have been yielding to oncoming traffic but chose not to. The second incident which was today the young lady decided to go at a stop sign when it was not her vehicles turn. I will be keeping my dash cam footage as well. This business seems to prioritize speed over the safety of our community. Upon calling the store to report the reckless driving, the woman who answered seemed frustrated I even called to begin with. That’s ok though my prescriptions will be coming from Andes."

"Friendly, fast and knowledgeable service."

"Brown's is definitely categorized as a local mom n pop pharmacy, the store is kinda on the small side and is a narrow long space from front door to back door & yes it has the 2 entrances. Fairly regularly they will b scheduled to fill my meds but they take no initiative to fill them voluntarily, I have to call n tell them to fill even tho they have the dates on when I last filled and should program in the time to fill again but they don't, plus if they r out of the medicine it can take anywhere from 3-7 days for them to get it in to fill my order leaving me to suffer without it all that time rather than use some forethought & send for a new supply of my meds a few days in advance so it gets here just in time. They r also fickle as to what they will fill per my insurance & cost saving options like Good Rx they don't always accept leaving me to pay full cost should my insurance not pay some or all of the cost for 1 or more of my medications that I need for my health. They r close to where I'm staying which is the main reason why I use them but I have to use Walgreens sometimes to get what I can't get at Brown's, plus the staff at Brown's isn't the most helpful at times leaving me with questions they should b able to answer but don't with promptness & accuracy leaving me to call back multiple times to get going what I need going. If I had reliable transportation I'd almost sooner go to Walgreens or Walmart to meet my medication needs tbh"
