Key Terms

glp-1 medications medical

GLP-1 medications are drugs that copy a natural gut hormone to help the body release insulin, lower blood sugar and reduce appetite by slowing how quickly the stomach empties. For investors, they matter because their strong clinical benefits have driven rapid sales growth, reshaped demand for diabetes and weight-loss treatments, and created regulatory, patent and pricing dynamics that can significantly affect healthcare companies’ revenues and profitability.

obstructive sleep apnea medical

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common medical condition where the throat repeatedly narrows or closes during sleep, causing short pauses in breathing, drops in blood oxygen and fragmented rest. It matters to investors because it creates ongoing demand for medical devices, diagnostics, treatments and sleep-monitoring services, and it can affect population health, workforce productivity and healthcare spending—like a recurring leak in a system that requires continual repair and monitoring.

Amazon Pharmacy now offers customers transparent cash-pay pricing starting at $299 per month for the 2.5 mg KwikPen starter dose and convenient, fast home delivery.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amazon Pharmacy (NASDAQ: AMZN), a full-service digital pharmacy that delivers medications quickly and directly to customers' homes, today announced expanded access to the new Zepbound® KwikPen® through Amazon Pharmacy. Eli Lilly's multi-dose injectable treatment for weight management is designed to deliver a full month of medication in a single device, offering patients a more convenient alternative by reducing the number of single-dose devices required.

Amazon Pharmacy sets itself apart in expanding access to the Zepbound KwikPen through Same-Day Delivery to more than half of U.S. households, a caregiver support feature for managing loved ones' prescriptions, 24/7 licensed pharmacist access and a full-service digital pharmacy offering a wide range of additional medications—all in one place.

With a valid prescription, customers can order Zepbound KwikPen through Amazon Pharmacy, see exactly how much the medication costs—starting at $299 per month for the 2.5 mg starter dose—through Amazon Pharmacy’s transparent pricing before checkout, and have their medication delivered directly to their door.

Eli Lilly's Zepbound is one of the most prescribed injectable weight management medications in the U.S. It has been shown to help adults lose weight and maintain weight loss when used alongside diet and exercise. It is also approved to help treat adults with obesity and moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea.

"Convenient access to medications and clear, transparent pricing are at the heart of what we do at Amazon Pharmacy," said Tanvi Patel, Vice President and General Manager of Amazon Pharmacy. "By expanding access to the Zepbound KwikPen with upfront self-pay pricing, we’re making it easier for customers to get the treatments their doctors prescribe in a simpler way—delivered directly and reliably to their homes."

Amazon Pharmacy has been delivering GLP-1 medications since 2021 and works with healthcare providers, industry collaborators, and digital health companies, including LillyDirect, WeightWatchers, UpScriptHealth and Noom, to expand access to weight management treatments. Amazon Pharmacy also offers 24/7 access to licensed and trained pharmacists and helps customers save on their medications by automatically applying manufacturer-sponsored coupons at checkout. To date, customers have saved more than $200 million through the automatic coupon program, with GLP-1 medications representing the largest category of savings.

For customers seeking comprehensive care and additional support for weight management, Amazon One Medical offers personalized clinical evaluations, evidence-based treatment recommendations, and ongoing care management, including medication prescribing tailored to individual health needs and goals.

Amazon Pharmacy customers nationwide receive free, fast delivery on their first order of each new medication — including Same-Day Delivery available to nearly 3,000 cities and towns today, expanding to nearly 4,500 by the end of 2026. Customers can visit pharmacy.amazon.com or choose Amazon Pharmacy in the Amazon app to get started or learn more.
