Amazon Accelerates Prescription Delivery in NYC and LA

Amazon Pharmacy has launched same-day prescription delivery in New York City and Los Angeles, with plans to expand to more cities by the end of the year. The service aims to provide customers with medication for health conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes within hours. Amazon's small-format facilities, such as the one in Brooklyn, stock common prescription medications for acute conditions to get medications closer to where customers live and process prescriptions within minutes. The company's chief medical officer, Dr. Vin Gupta, emphasized the faster delivery option with transparent pricing to avoid unexpected costs at the pharmacy counter.

Prescription Delivery in Extreme Heat: Does it Affect Medication's Effectiveness?

Medicines should be stored in a cool, dark place as heat and sunlight can damage their effectiveness. Studies have shown that medicines sent by mail order can be exposed to temperatures outside their recommended range, potentially compromising their efficacy. Liquid medicines, hormones, and nitroglycerin are particularly sensitive, as well as medications that require precise dosing. It is recommended to use a local pharmacy if possible, but for those with mail-order prescriptions, requesting special packaging during warm weather or having them shipped to a temperature-controlled environment can help mitigate the risk. Additionally, weight loss is common in chronic lung diseases like bronchiectasis due to increased energy expenditure, medication side effects, poor appetite, inflammation, and potential depression. Dietary changes and maintaining muscle strength are important for managing weight loss in these conditions.
