Amazon Launches RxPass Service for $5 Generic Drugs

Amazon has announced the launch of its RxPass service, a subscription-based prescription drug service that will ship certain generic medications to patients for $50 a month. The program includes over 50 generics and is integrated into existing Amazon Prime subscriptions. Drugs can be delivered monthly or once every three months, as requested.

According to Phil Taylor, “Amazon has made halting progress in some health areas – notably telehealth, where its Amazon Care programme launched in 2019, but was abandoned last year, only to re-emerge as Amazon Clinic – but continues to press on in areas that it says play to its main strength, namely connecting buyers and sellers of goods and services. That includes Amazon Pharmacy, its online and mobile prescription medication ordering and fulfilment service, which made its debut in November 2020 and offers free, two-day home delivery of prescriptions to Prime subscribers.”
