Amazon is looking to expand its pharmacy operations in the US by creating physical pharmacies to 'win over a larger slice of the prescription-drug industry', a new report claims. The company already entered the ring against the big three pharmacy companies when it launched Amazon Pharmacy in November. 'Amazon Pharmacy is focused on making at-home delivery pharmacy easier and more convenient for customers,' the spokesperson said. Amazon offers commonly prescribed medications, including creams, pills, as well as medications that need to stay refrigerated, such as insulin. Amazon Pharmacy builds on the retailer's 2018 acquisition of PillPack, which Amazon said will remain separate for customers needing pre-sorted doses of multiple drugs.
