Amazon tells regulators it will not sell drugs
Amazon’s filings with state pharmaceutical regulators reveal the company is not looking to sell drugs on its marketplace.
The filings to distribute to at least 12 states from three facilities in Indiana reveal Amazon could distribute medical devices, supplies, gas or pharmaceuticals. However, to distribute drugs the company would likely also have to pursue a deal with a pharmaceutical benefits manager. In correspondence with regulators, Amazon said it would not “store or ship drugs,” alleviating rumors that Amazon was moving into the pharmacy business.
