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(/)
