     THIS STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON THE
     EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
     1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE WARRANT MAY
     NOT BE EXERCISED, AND NEITHER THE WARRANT NOR THE STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
     ITS EXERCISE MAY BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, IN THE ABSENCE OF
     AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND LAWS OR AN
     OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
     REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                             STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Capstone Pharmacy Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to IMD Corporation, an Illinois
corporation (the "Investor"), effective January 1, 1996 (the Effective Date"),
the right, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, to purchase 75,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value (all shares of the Common
Stock of the Company being referred to as the "Shares"). The exercise price (the
"Exercise Price") is $12.50, being the closing price of the Stock for the
trading day immediately prior to the date hereof.

     This Warrant is subject to the following provisions.

     1. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable by Investor, in whole
or in increments of 10,000 Shares or more, subject to the terms of Section 2,
beginning as of the date hereof, and Investor's right to exercise this Warrant
shall expire on January 1, 1999. Upon the expiration of this Warrant, Investor
shall return the Warrant to the Company.

     2. Exercise Procedures.

        a. Subject to the terms herein, this Warrant will be deemed to have been
exercised when the Company has received the following items (the date that all
such items have been received is hereinafter referred to as the "Exercise
Date"), at its offices at 2930 Washington Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21230
or at such other address of which it notifies the holder hereof:

           i. a completed Exercise Agreement, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, executed by the Investor;

           ii. this Warrant; and

           iii. the Exercise Price, in immediately available funds.

        b. Certificate(s) evidencing the Shares being purchased will be
delivered to Investor promptly after the Exercise Date, and the Shares so issued
shall be deemed for all purposes to have been issued to Investor and Investor
will be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of the Shares
as of the Exercise Date. If the Investor exercises the Warrant for less than all
of the Shares issuable hereunder, the Company shall issue and deliver to the
Investor a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the Shares
issuable hereunder.

        c. Freedom from Liens, etc. When issued in accordance with the terms
hereof, said Shares will be fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of
all liens, pledges, security interests, restrictions, claims, charges or other
encumbrances, other than those placed upon such securities by applicable state
and federal law and as otherwise provided herein.

     3. Adjustment of Exercise Price, Conversion Price and Number of Shares. To
prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the initial Exercise
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 3 (such price or such price as last adjusted pursuant to the terms
hereof, as the case may be, is herein called the "Exercise Price"), and the
number of Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 3.

        a. Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time
after the date hereof shall, by stock dividend, subdivision, stock split or
combination or other reclassification of securities (any such action herein
referred to as a "Reclassification"), change any of the securities to which
purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of
securities of any class or series, this Warrant shall entitle the Investor to
acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the
result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the
purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such Reclassification,
and the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted.

        b. Notices. Following any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the
Company will give written notice of the new Exercise Price and number of
securities to the Investor.

     4. No Voting Rights. This Warrant will not entitle the Investor to any
voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

     5. Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the ownership and loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the
Company will execute and deliver a replacement to this Warrant, representing the
then current identical rights granted herein. All costs of such replacement
shall be borne by the Investor.

     6. Exercise, Transfer. This Warrant is not transferrable by the Investor,
other than pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, without the consent
of the Company. In addition, the Company, if it agrees to the transfer of the
Warrant, may permit the transfer of this Warrant by Investor, or the exercise of
this Warrant by Investor or a transferee, only when the Warrant or securities or
Shares subject to this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act") and any applicable state securities law or when the
request for exercise or transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel, which
opinion and counsel shall be acceptable to the Company and its counsel, to the
effect that the exercise, sale or proposed transfer does not require
registration under the Act or any state securities law.

     7. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall be a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such action may be taken or
such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday.

     8. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed in all respects, including
validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of Delaware.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed by its
duly authorized officer on this ___ day of February , 1996.
