Amazon Pharmacy will now deliver prescription medications for diabetes, obesity and migraines directly to patients' doors.
Four months after Eli Lilly obtained regulatory approval to sell its diabetes medication under a different name for weight loss, the pharmaceutical giant is teaming up with Amazon to deliver the drug and other medications directly to people's door.The drugmaker's tirzepatide medication, branded as Mounjaro for diabetes, is now being marketed as Zepbound for weight loss and is administered with an injection pen.
Only certain drugs can be ordered through Lilly's platform, which uses third-party online pharmacies to fill and ship prescriptions. The process in many cases eliminates the need to physically see a doctor to obtain a prescription and, in certain cases, trekking to a pharmacy to fill it. The partnership with Amazon comes amid surging demand for Zepbound and other weight-loss drugs, some of which have seen intermittent shortages during the last year.
