Amazon and Lilly Collaborate for Home Delivery of Zepbound and Other Medications

Eli Lilly has partnered with Amazon's pharmacy unit to deliver drug prescriptions through its direct-to-consumer service, LillyDirect, which was launched in January to provide migraine, diabetes, and obesity drugs, including Zepbound, directly to patients. The prescriptions will be delivered by either Amazon Pharmacy or Truepill, depending on insurance coverage and other factors. The move comes amid surging demand for weight-loss drugs, and Lilly is also considering partnering with a retail pharmacy for a pick-up option. The website also connects patients to independent telehealth providers and aims to enhance its offerings with additional medicines and service providers in the near future.
