In Excel the person can have the content of 3 other cells in one cell,
for example

Drug1        Drug2         Drug3         Drugs
--------------------------------------------------------------
Panad        Asp          Val            Panad/Asp/Val

by typing:
drugs=drug1&"/"&drug2&"/"drug3

Is it possible to do something similar in STATA?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

yes:
   generate drugs = drug1 + "/" + drug2 + "/" + drug3
or: 
   egen drugs = concat(drug1-drug3), punct(/)
