An oral version of Novo Nordisk's Wegovy will be sold through Amazon Pharmacy, increasing access for consumers who pay out of pocket.
After a provider writes a prescription, patients can choose to have it sent to Amazon Pharmacy for in-office kiosk pickup. Patients then use their phone to check out in the Amazon app, after which medications are typically "ready in minutes," Amazon says. The kiosks have a range of commonly prescribed medications, including antibiotics, inhalers, and blood pressure medications.
