  • Eli Lilly has announced the availability of the new GLP-1 pill, Foundayo, through Amazon One Medical kiosks.
  • The new Amazon offering features same-day prescriptions after speaking with a healthcare professional.
  • Foundayo is available through Amazon for $149 per month for the lowest dose.
  • Amazon One Medical kiosks have been stocking Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pills since January.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved Foundayo, Eli Lilly’s new GLP-1 pill for weight loss.

Foundayo is available through the LillyDirect program and through Amazon Pharmacy, which fulfills prescriptions made through LillyDirect.

Now, Amazon One Medical kiosks will offer Foundayo, which allows individuals to access their prescriptions on the same day after speaking with a healthcare professional.

Amazon Pharmacy has offered home delivery of GLP-1 medications since 2021, but hasn’t been able to stock them in kiosks because they require refrigeration.

GLP-1 pills, however, do not require cold storage, allowing for “broader access and for them to be ​stored safely in a kiosk for dispensing,” Tanvi Patel, a vice president at Amazon Pharmacy, ​said in a press release.

Amazon Pharmacy kiosks have also been stocking the Wegovy pills since January.

Amazon announced its kiosks connected to One Medical locations in 2025.

There are currently five kiosks available in California. Amazon noted that the kiosks were developed to help reduce barriers to medication access and limit delivery fees.

One Medical is Amazon’s primary and urgent care business. People can purchase a one-year subscription to One Medical for $199 or $99 with Amazon Prime.

Those without a One Medical membership can still book an appointment and use the kiosks.

Currently, Amazon kiosks are only available in certain areas of California. However, Hannah McClellan Richards, a vice president at Amazon Pharmacy, said in a press release that “the company plans to expand the kiosk model outside of California in 2026 and is in talks with external health systems to introduce the machines through partnerships.”

Individuals can also access Amazon’s same-day delivery for Foundayo through Lilly’s prescribing partners, such as WW International (formerly Weight Watchers).

Some people may also have access to same-day delivery directly through Amazon.

Amazon hopes to expand same-day delivery to 4,500 locations by the end of this year.

WW International and GoodRx have also said they will separately begin offering Foundayo at self-pay prices, starting at $149 per month for the lowest dose.

The Foundayo pill is the second GLP-1 medication to be approved in pill form.

For people with commercial insurance, it may cost as little as $25 per month. Individuals with Medicare Part D may be able to get Foundayo for $50 a month, beginning in July.

“It is great to have new tools added to our toolbox to deal with obesity,” Zhaoping Li, MD, the chief of the Division of Clinical Nutrition at UCLA Health and director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition in Los Angeles, told Healthline in an earlier interview.

The starting dose for Foundayo is 0.8 milligrams (mg), increasing to 2.5 mg after 30 days, and then to 5.5 mg after a further 30 days. The dosage may be increased to 9 mg, 14.5 mg, or 17.2 mg after at least 30 days at each level, based on a person’s response and tolerance to each dose.

“Preferences vary by patient,” Mir Ali, MD, a bariatric surgeon and the medical director of MemorialCare Surgical Weight Loss Center at Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, CA, told Healthine in an earlier interview.

“Some prefer weekly injections while others prefer a [daily] pill. A primary advantage of the pill is that it does not require refrigeration, making it more convenient for travel,” he said.

If you think you may be eligible for Foundayo or another GLP-1 medication, ask your doctor for more guidance.
