Amazon Expands Drone Delivery to Include Medications in College Station, Texas

Amazon has announced that it will now deliver medications via drones in College Station, Texas, as part of its expanding drone delivery operations. Customers can receive free deliveries in less than an hour for over 500 medications, including those for flu, asthma, and pneumonia. This move aims to narrow the crucial “golden window” between diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes. The announcement comes as Amazon integrates its pharmacy division, Amazon Pharmacy, into its operations, following the acquisition of Pillpack in 2018. While drone deliveries are currently limited to College Station, Amazon plans to expand drone operations to additional US cities and countries by the end of next year.
