 PROFILE
CVS.com, formerly Soma.com, hopes it has the prescription for online success. A subsidiary of drugstore giant CVS, the online pharmacist sells some 12,000 prescription drugs over-the-counter health and personal care products. It takes prescription orders at its Web site, fills the orders at its facility in Ohio, and provides overnight delivery or in-store pickup at CVS drugstores. It also e-mails refill reminders. Former CEO Thomas Pigott founded Soma.com in 1997 as the first Internet-only drugstore. CVS bought Soma.com in June 1999 and changed its name.
