Amazon.com is offering a GLP-1 weight-loss program that integrates primary-care services with the technology company's pharmacy business.

The company said Tuesday the new program is designed to provide continuing medical supervision--allowing clinicians to monitor progress, adjust treatments and address related health conditions--compared with one-off weight-management solutions from other providers.

With the program, Amazon One Medical members can get Novo Nordisk's Wegovy and Eli Lilly's Foundayo GLP-1 pills for weight management starting at $25 a month with insurance coverage, or $149 a month for cash-pay options.

The $149 cash-pay price for a starter dose aligns with those offered through programs from the likes of Hims & Hers Health, Walgreens and Weight Watchers. However, required membership and visit fees can vary. Amazon One Medical costs $99 a year for Prime members.

Amazon Pharmacy also provides injectable versions of Wegovy and Lilly's Zepbound. It currently offers same-day delivery for all medications to nearly 3,000 cities and towns, and said it plans to expand to nearly 4,500 by the end of 2026.

"By expanding access to the latest GLP-1 medications with upfront, clear pricing, we're making it easier for customers to get the treatments their health care providers prescribe and to stay on those medications because they are delivered reliably directly to patients," said Tanvi Patel, vice president and general manager of Amazon Pharmacy.

Shares of Hims & Hers fell 3.9%, to $29.79, on Tuesday. Weight Watchers declined 9%, and Novo Nordisk fell 2.6%.

Under Amazon's new GLP-1 program, patients would receive pre-visit screening, consultations and follow-up visits with integrated monitoring, standardized documentation and treatment algorithms. It is available at Amazon One Medical locations across the U.S., the company said.

Patients enrolled in the program would also be able to get prescription renewals through on-demand telehealth services, starting at $29 for message consultations or $49 for video care.
