Amazon to stock Lilly's Foundayo weight-loss pill at kiosks with same-day delivery

On April 9, 2026, Amazon said its pharmacy unit will stock Foundayo, Eli Lilly's new weight-loss pill, at kiosks located at some of the company's primary care clinics and offer same-day delivery of the drug ^[1][2]. A prescription is required to order it through Amazon Pharmacy ^[2].

Amazon Pharmacy has been delivering GLP-1 medications since 2021, but it does not stock injectable versions of those drugs in kiosks because they need to be refrigerated ^[1]. The pill form does not carry that requirement. No need for cold storage is "what allows for broader access and for them to be stored safely in a kiosk for dispensing," said Tanvi Patel, a vice president at Amazon Pharmacy ^[1].

About half of customers in the U.S. have access to same-day delivery, and the company aims to expand that, Patel said. All customers receive their medications within four days, Amazon officials told Reuters ^[1][2].

Amazon has stocked Novo Nordisk's Wegovy pill in its kiosks since January ^[1]. USA TODAY reported that those kiosks are at five One Medical locations in Los Angeles, and that the retailer plans to expand kiosks nationwide ^[2]. CNBC described the same group as five kiosks in California, where customers can pick up medications at Amazon's One Medical locations after a medical appointment ^[1]. How many kiosks will carry Foundayo, and where they will be, has not been disclosed.

What it costs and how people get it

Lilly said last week it would begin selling Foundayo directly to cash-pay customers through its LillyDirect pharmacy platform at $149 per month for the lowest dose ^[1]. Under Foundayo's self-pay program, higher monthly doses range from $299 to $349, according to USA TODAY ^[2]. People whose insurance covers GLP-1 weight-loss drugs might pay as little as $25 per month, Lilly and Amazon said ^[2].

Patients can also reach Amazon's same-day delivery through Lilly's prescribing partners, such as Weight Watchers, Patel said ^[1]. Telehealth providers Ro and Weight Watchers also sell the medication, and consumers with a prescription can order from LillyDirect ^[2].

Kiosk pickup does not require a One Medical membership. Patients without one can still book an appointment and use the kiosks, and a One Medical subscription costs $199 per year ^[1][2]. Amazon announced the kiosks last year for widely used medications such as antibiotics, blood pressure medicines and asthma inhalers, saying the option would reduce barriers to access and limit shipping costs ^[1][2].

The delivery push is part of a larger investment: Amazon spent over $4 billion in 2025 in an effort to triple its company-wide delivery options this year, targeting underserved small towns and rural areas. By the end of 2026, same-day delivery access should reach 4,500 locales, Patel said ^[1].

Why it matters for patients

Foundayo is the second GLP-1 weight-loss pill to reach U.S. consumers this year, after Novo Nordisk's Wegovy pill launched in January, and both companies are betting that a daily pill will appeal to people who want to avoid a shot or who have been reluctant to take weight-loss medication because of stigma or other barriers ^[2]. Because the pills do not need refrigeration, they can be kept in automated kiosks, which injectable GLP-1 drugs cannot be ^[1].

That changes where and how quickly a prescription can be filled. Someone who is already a patient at a participating clinic could pick up the drug after an appointment rather than waiting on a shipment, and Amazon says every order arrives within four days even where same-day service is not available ^[1][2].

Cost still varies widely by coverage. The listed self-pay prices run from $149 to $349 a month, while Lilly and Amazon say some insured patients might pay as little as $25 ^[1][2]. Whether most insurers will cover Foundayo, and what prior-authorization requirements they may set, has not been reported in these accounts. The sources also do not describe how Amazon verifies prescriptions for kiosk pickup, or how clinical follow-up is handled for patients who order the drug online.

What happens next

Amazon plans to expand the kiosks nationwide beyond the five California locations ^[2]. As kiosks are introduced in other states, their locations may expand to other providers or clinics if state regulation allows, Patel said ^[1]. Amazon expects same-day delivery access to reach 4,500 locales by the end of 2026 ^[1]. A specific timeline for when Foundayo will be available in kiosks outside California has not been reported.
