"The access is inconsistent. There's pharmacy deserts where they're not nearby. There's some that have hours that are challenging. Sometimes, you might wait in line," Love said. Amazon Pharmacy will also fill orders for popular weight loss meds such as Ozempic. Eli Lilly, which makes Mounjaro, chose Amazon to be its delivery partner. But Love says scarcity remains a problem.
"We aren't delivering Schedule II controlled substances at this time. There is a lot of regulation and scarcity challenges with those specific medications," Love said.
