Amazon Pharmacy to expand same-day delivery to nearly 4,500 US cities

Amazon Pharmacy plans to offer same-day prescription delivery to almost 4,500 U.S. cities and towns by the end of this year, adding nearly 2,000 new communities and expanding into states such as Idaho and Massachusetts.

The online pharmacy launched in 2020, two years after Amazon’s $753 million acquisition of PillPack. In 2023 it introduced RxPass, which lets U.S. Prime members obtain as many generic versions of medications as they need for a $5 monthly fee.

“Patients shouldn’t have to choose between speed, cost, and convenience when it comes to their medication, regardless of where they live,” said John Love, vice president of Amazon Pharmacy, in a press release. In October, the e-commerce giant debuted prescription vending machines at its One Medical clinics. The in-office kiosks, which are operated by Amazon Pharmacy, let patients pick up their prescriptions immediately after their appointment.
