Eli Lilly’s<\/a> Foundayo pill for weight loss.<\/p>\n“Amazon Pharmacy continues to provide customers expanded selection and reliable, convenient access to the latest treatments like the Ozempic pill for type 2 diabetes,” \u200csaid Tanvi Patel, a vice president at Amazon. “We are making it easy for customers to get the medication they need to stay \u200bhealthy.” <\/p>\n
Amazon began delivering GLP-1 medications, a class of drugs to treat diabetes and obesity, in 2021. It does not stock the injectables in kiosks because they need to be refrigerated, unlike the pill versions.<\/p>\n
Half of \u2060Amazon’s U.S. customers have access to same-day delivery and all customers receive their medications within \u200cfour days. Amazon will offer same-day delivery for Ozempic \u200cto about 3,000 locales and will expand access to 4,500 by year-end.<\/p>\n
Customers with a prescription can order the pill through Amazon Pharmacy for $149 per month for cash or through insurance, the \u2060company said. The lowest price with insurance is $25, Amazon said in its \u2060release.<\/p>\n
Novo’s Wegovy pill is stocked in five kiosks in \u2060California, where customers can pick up the drugs at Amazon’s One Medical locations following a medical appointment.<\/p>\n
Amazon announced the kiosks to address \u200bbarriers to access and limit shipping expenses \u200cfor customers, first targeting drugs like antibiotics, blood pressure medicines and asthma inhalers.<\/p>\n
Patients do not need a One Medical subscription, Amazon’s primary and urgent care service, to book an appointment and use the kiosks. A one-year One Medical subscription fee costs $199. Amazon invested \u200bover $4 billion last year in an \u200ceffort to triple its company-wide delivery options in 2026, targeting small towns and rural areas. \u200b\u200c<\/p>\n
