I think the labeling above is rather to mislead since what is labeled drugB is 
actually A&B. I think the method I suggest is more likely to be interpreted 
correctly:

> d2 <- data.frame(trt = c("Baseline","DrugA_only","DrugA_drugB"))
>  y <- c(0,1,3)
> lm(y ~ trt, data=d2)

Call:
lm(formula = y ~ trt, data = d2)

Coefficients:
   (Intercept)  trtDrugA_drugB   trtDrugA_only  
     2.564e-16       3.000e+00       1.000e+00
