Amazon is adding vending machines stocked with prescription drugs to its One Medical clinics, allowing patients to pick up their medications immediately after their appointment. A wide range of common prescriptions will be available for kiosk collection, including antibiotics, inhalers, and blood pressure medication.
The company announced that the Amazon Pharmacy kiosks will be available at One Medical offices across Los Angeles starting in December, with plans to later expand to other locations. Amazon says the specific inventory for kiosks will vary based on the “prescribing patterns of each office location,” and that they won’t distribute controlled substances or medications that require refrigeration.
The vending machines aim to make it easier for people to collect essential meds wit
