Tell HN: Amazon Pharmacy's Negligence Endangers Patient Safety

2 mkrishnan 1 7/8/2025, 5:38:59 PM

I recently ordered Zepbound, a temperature-sensitive medication requiring strict storage conditions (46°F), from Amazon Pharmacy. The consistently inadequate packaging has resulted in repeated deliveries at room temperature, compromising the medication's efficacy and potentially posing a health risk.

Amazon Pharmacy's response to my complaints was dismissive, suggesting I fill my prescription elsewhere. My subsequent complaint to the FDA has yielded no action.

Please avoid amazon pharmacy for any medication requires temperature control.
