Amazon adds Ozempic pill to pharmacy with same-day delivery
Amazon has broadened its pharmacy services by introducing the diabetes medication Ozempic at designated One Medical kiosks. Patients holding a prescription can either collect the drug from these kiosks or receive it via same-day delivery for a fee of $149 monthly. This initiative aligns with Amazon's purchase of One Medical and enhances its pharmacy delivery system, positioning the company to rival conventional pharmacies and telehealth services. While Ozempic is primarily sanctioned for type 2 diabetes, it has become increasingly sought after for weight loss. The same-day delivery option is designed to provide added convenience for individuals managing ongoing health issues.
