Amazon to carry Ozempic at US kiosks, offer same-day delivery
Amazon said its pharmacy will stock Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic pill at U.S. kiosks and offer same-day delivery to about 3,000 locales, expanding to 4,500 by year-end. The move expands Amazon's pharmacy footprint, lowers access barriers for GLP-1 drugs and could boost Amazon Pharmacy revenue and same-day logistics usage. The company will charge $149/month cash (as low as $25 with insurance) and continues to limit kiosk inventory to non-refrigerated pill forms. The decision reinforces Amazon’s competitive pressure on traditional pharmacies and may affect distribution dynamics for diabetes/weight-loss drugmakers and retailers as Amazon accelerates its healthcare distribution strategy following a >$4 billion delivery expansion investment.
