Amazon announced on Thursday that its pharmacy division will begin stocking Eli Lilly’s newly approved weight-loss medication, Foundayo, at kiosks located within some of the company’s primary care clinics. The service will also include same-day delivery of the drug, enhancing convenience for customers.
Amazon Pharmacy started delivering GLP-1 medications in 2021; however, it has not stocked injectable versions at kiosks due to refrigeration requirements. Tanvi Patel, a vice president at Amazon Pharmacy, explained that the oral pills do not require cold storage, which enables broader access and safe kiosk dispensing.
Currently, about half of Amazon’s U.S. customers have access to same-day delivery, with plans to expand this service further. All customers receive their medications within four days. Amazon Pharmacy fills prescriptions made through Eli Lilly’s direct-to-consumer platform, LillyDirect, and has been stocking Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill at kiosks since January.
Patel highlighted that Amazon benefits from Lilly’s early adoption of direct-to-consumer sales, which complements its dispensing operations. Last week, Lilly announced it would sell Foundayo directly to cash-paying customers via LillyDirect at a starting price of $149 per month for the lowest dose. Customers can also access Amazon’s same-day delivery through Lilly’s prescribing partners, including WeightWatchers.
Since January, Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill has been available at five kiosks in California, where patients can collect their medication at Amazon’s One Medical locations following medical appointments. Amazon introduced these kiosks last year to distribute commonly used medications such as antibiotics, blood pressure drugs, and asthma inhalers, aiming to reduce access barriers and shipping expenses.
Patients without a One Medical membership, Amazon’s primary and urgent care service, can still schedule appointments and use the kiosks. The annual subscription fee for One Medical is $199. As the kiosk program expands beyond California, Patel noted that their placement might extend to other healthcare providers or clinics, subject to state regulations.
Amazon invested over $4 billion in 2025 to triple its delivery capabilities company-wide this year, focusing on underserved small towns and rural communities. Patel projected that by the end of 2026, same-day delivery will be available in 4,500 locations nationwide.
