Amazon Launches Online Pharmacy

Even in CVS and Walgreens, many medicines are manufactured in India. Don't worry about quality, the labs in India are FDA inspected and they are one of the largest medicine/vaccine manufacturers supplying to many countries. //@Anonymous: A flood of made in India medicines

You do know that CVS owns a major health insurance company, right? //@anonymous: Bye bye CVS and Walgreen

You can't possible think your medical data isn't outsourced to foreign countries already? //@Anonymous: This is a bad idea of handing over the personal and medical information and wait it to be outsourced out of USA.
I'm kind of surprised how regulators agreed for this idea.

I hold about 50K in CVS stock. Lost 8% today. It seems that there are plenty of people who think that this is a big deal... //@Anonymous: Amazon bought a online pharmacy pillpack that basically becomes Amazon pharmacy //@anonymous: I doubt Amazon would hire enough qualified pharmacists to fulfill all the prescriptions. Maybe they have developed some algorithm to automate that in order to save more money. But first of all, can Amazon invest to make their search engine generate relevant results? //@Anonymous: I TRUST CVS than Amazon for prescription drugs at any time.

You can. I just checked a price //@anonymous: Cannot quote price before actually transferring Rx. Bad!

Do you think CVS and Walgreens are local business? //@anonymous: Support local business!

It takes forever to refill

this is the pharmacy killer

I TRUST CVS than Amazon for prescription drugs at any time.

first refill yes. for long term refill, get local pharmacy to fill a mail order is a real pain in the behind //@Anonymous: Well, I have to wait 2 days for them to ship my medication. Local pharmacy I can get it immediately after a doctor visit.

No, I don't want my medical data being outsourcing to another country. What a stupid idea!

Wait of 3rd party sellers. It is going to be a fun ride.

This is a bad idea for patients’ safety.

They can find better things to do. //@anonymous: Support local business!

I always have bad experience at CVS for both in person and online shopping. Glad that there are more options now.

Hate going into CVS and Walgreens. So happy to see Amazon in this space.

I am sticking with my walgreens

Support local business!

Obsolete in the near future //@Anonymous: really tough time to be a pharmacists right now
