The new Amazon offering features same-day prescriptions after speaking with a healthcare professional. Foundayo is available through Amazon for $149 per month for the lowest dose.Amazon One Medical kiosks have been stocking Novo Nordisk\u2019s Wegovy pills since January. <\/p>\n

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved Foundayo<\/a>, Eli Lilly\u2019s new GLP-1 pill for weight loss. <\/p>\n

Foundayo is available through the LillyDirect<\/a> program and through Amazon Pharmacy, which fulfills prescriptions made through LillyDirect. <\/p>\n

Now, Amazon One Medical kiosks will offer Foundayo, which allows individuals to access their prescriptions on the same day after speaking with a healthcare professional. <\/p>\n

Amazon Pharmacy has offered home delivery of GLP-1 medications<\/a> since 2021, but hasn\u2019t been able to stock them in kiosks because they require refrigeration. <\/p>\n

GLP-1 pills, however, do not require cold storage, allowing for \u201cbroader access and for them to be \u200bstored safely in a kiosk for dispensing,\u201d Tanvi Patel<\/a>, a vice president at Amazon Pharmacy, \u200bsaid in a press release<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Amazon Pharmacy kiosks have also been stocking the Wegovy<\/a> pills since January. <\/p>\n

Amazon announced its kiosks connected to One Medical locations in 2025. <\/p>\n

There are currently five kiosks available in California. Amazon noted that the kiosks were developed to help reduce barriers to medication access and limit delivery fees. <\/p>\n

One Medical is Amazon\u2019s primary and urgent care business. People can purchase a one-year subscription to One Medical<\/a> for $199 or $99 with Amazon Prime. <\/p>\n

Those without a One Medical membership can still book an appointment and use the kiosks. <\/p>\n

Currently, Amazon kiosks are only available in certain areas of California. However, Hannah McClellan Richards<\/a>, a vice president at Amazon Pharmacy, said in a press release<\/a> that \u201cthe company plans to expand the kiosk model outside of California in 2026 and is in talks with external health systems to introduce the machines through partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Individuals can also access Amazon\u2019s same-day delivery for Foundayo through Lilly\u2019s prescribing partners, such as WW International (formerly Weight Watchers). <\/p>\n

Some people may also have access to same-day delivery directly through Amazon. <\/p>\n

Amazon hopes to expand same-day delivery to 4,500 locations by the end of this year. <\/p>\n

WW International and GoodRx have also said they will separately begin offering Foundayo at self-pay prices, starting at $149 per month for the lowest dose. <\/p>\n

The Foundayo<\/a> pill is the second GLP-1 medication to be approved in pill form. <\/p>\n

For people with commercial insurance, it may cost as little as $25 per month. Individuals with Medicare Part D<\/a> may be able to get Foundayo for $50 a month, beginning in July. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is great to have new tools added to our toolbox to deal with obesity,\u201d Zhaoping Li<\/a>, MD, the chief of the Division of Clinical Nutrition at UCLA Health and director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition in Los Angeles, told Healthline in an earlier interview<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The starting dose for Foundayo is 0.8 milligrams (mg), increasing to 2.5 mg after 30 days, and then to 5.5 mg after a further 30 days. The dosage may be increased to 9 mg, 14.5 mg, or 17.2 mg after at least 30 days at each level, based on a person\u2019s response and tolerance to each dose. <\/p>\n

\u201cPreferences vary by patient,\u201d Mir Ali<\/a>, MD, a bariatric surgeon and the medical director of MemorialCare Surgical Weight Loss Center at Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, CA, told Healthine in an earlier interview<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cSome prefer weekly injections while others prefer a [daily] pill. A primary advantage of the pill is that it does not require refrigeration, making it more convenient for travel,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

If you think you may be eligible for Foundayo or another GLP-1 medication, ask your doctor for more guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Share on PinterestAmazon will offer the new GLP-1 pill, Foundayo, via kiosks and same-day delivery.
