Amazon Pharmacy, the full-service online pharmacy that delivers prescription medications directly to customers' doors, has helped customers save more than $100 million on prescription medications by automatically applying manufacturer-sponsored coupons directly to eligible orders.
For the millions of Americans managing chronic conditions, navigating the accessibility and cost of their medications can be challenging. Newer, brand-name therapies are commonly prescribed for conditions like diabetes and obesity, but these treatments can be prohibitively expensive. That's why Amazon Pharmacy created a feature that automatically applies manufacturer-sponsored coupons directly to eligible orders.

A recent studyfound patients only used manufacturer-sponsored coupons 15% of the time they were available to them. Amazon Pharmacy's coupon savings program helps bridge this gap by collaborating with select manufacturers to seamlessly apply eligible savings at checkout on brand-name therapies for common conditions like diabetes, ADHD, and hypothyroidism, allowing customers to focus on managing their health rather than searching for discounts.
Amazon Pharmacy created a simple, customer-friendly experience that automatically applies medication savings-similar to how Amazon.comapplies coupons for retail purchases, an experience customers already know and love.
"For patients, finding and applying medication coupons has traditionally been a tedious, confusing process involving searching online, downloading forms, enrolling in programs, or calling drug manufacturers directly," said Tanvi Patel, vice president and GM of Amazon Pharmacy. "We believe it should be much easier for patients to find and afford their prescribed medications."

Which medications save customers the most

Analysis of the savings data reveals that medications for chronic conditions represent the largest portion of customer savings. GLP-1 medications commonly used for weight management ranked as the top category, followed by insulin for diabetes management. EpiPens for treating severe allergic reactions were also a significant source of customer savings.
Amazon Pharmacy's collaborations with various manufacturers have been instrumental in reaching this savings milestone. These relationships ensure manufacturer discount programs are seamlessly integrated into the Amazon Pharmacy experience, providing eligible patients with savings on novel, brand-name therapies for diabetes, hypothyroidism, emphysema, obesity, and other conditions have been part of this automatic coupon program.
