Amazon enters prescription drug market with Amazon Pharmacy​

Long-expected move brings major new online competitor to pharmacy channel
Russell Redman 1 | Nov 17, 2020

After years of industry buzz, Amazon has formally entered the retail pharmacy market with the launch of Amazon Pharmacy.
Amazon said Tuesday that the new online store, located at amazon.com/pharmacy, enables customers to complete an entire pharmacy transaction on their desktop computer or via the Amazon App on a mobile device. After setting up a secure pharmacy profile and adding insurance information, customers can ask their prescriber to send new or
current drug prescriptions directly to Amazon Pharmacy for fulfillment, choose payment options before checking out and manage their medications.

To me, it sounds less like they're trying to actually trying to stick it to the food/drug retailers and more toward a new frontier in collecting customer information.

 

[Frank D'arbo]

Yeah I don't trust Amazon to take my medication if that shit can get easily stolen

 

[Meat Target]

Amazon is already in the Hentai market by it's very nature. Where is the Bald One NOT sticking his tentacles?

 

[crocodilian]

Amazon can't even prevent Chinese counterfeiters from selling phony merchandise on their website. How are they going to stop the spread of illegal substances flooding in from China? Or is that the point?

 

[K. V. Bones]

Lol yeah.... there's not a very good chance this will be a good thing.

Future headline: 2000 dead after using Amazon Pharmacy, Amazon PR denies any wrongdoing

In the future you could buy your mandatory Covid vaccination on Amazon.

Amazon is such a juggernaut in trade, it is getting out of hand, but just let them get even bigger. I am certain holding that much power in one group won't be used to build an environment where Amazon can grow even bigger. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

Enter the recreational drug business with drone to window delivery.

 

[TwinkLover6969]

Lol yeah.... there's not a very good chance this will be a good thing.

Why? I doubt they will do any worse than other mail order pharmacies.

 

[Bad Gateway]

uh, yeuuh, drop ship the xans call me Amazon Prime

Is there anything that Jeff Bezos can’t do?

 

[Mr. Skeltal]

Is there anything that Jeff Bezos can’t do?

Recreate the mannerisms and appearance of a genuine hew-mon.

 

[Dysnomia]

At least they don't deliver opioids. The theft would be insane. I'd rather just pick stuff up in person. Of course the pharmacy is only a few blocks away. It's convenient as long as it isn't being looted.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

When Ross Ulbricht sets up a market for drugs he gets arrested for life, when Bezos does it he gets accolades.

 

[Saint Alphonsus]

These days, spending money at Amazon or any of the super-retailers makes me feel physically ill. I'm sure they have a pill for that, but I ain't buying.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Is there anything that Jeff Bezos can’t do?

Stay married.

 

[marynutty]

lmao, comparing Jeff Bezos and Ross Ulbrich

 

[IbnTaymiyyah]

So basically, my medication is liable to get stolen by the same niggers who steal my packages. Wonderful.

 

[Spedestrian]

What do you call Xanax pills that you ordered on Amazon? Bezosdiazepines.

 

[Aaa0aaa0]

I'm still waiting for the "AMAZON STOLE MY MEDS" articles that will happen in 4-10 months.
