Eli Lilly teams with Amazon to offer home delivery of its Zepbound weight-loss drug

Four months after Eli Lilly obtained regulatory approval to sell its diabetes medication under a different name for weight loss, the pharmaceutical giant is teaming up with Amazon to deliver the drug and other medications directly to people's door.

The drugmaker's tirzepatide medication, branded as Mounjaro for diabetes, is now being marketed as Zepbound for weight loss and is administered with an injection pen. 

"Lilly has selected Amazon Pharmacy as a dispensing pharmacy option, allowing patients to receive fast, free delivery of medications and 24/7 access to clinical pharmacists," Amazon announced Wednesday in a news release.
