00:00Amazon is making a major push deeper into health care, announcing it will now offer the pill version of Ozempic,
00:06with same-day delivery in thousands of U.S. locations.
00:10The move expands Amazon's growing presence in the booming GLP-1 market,
00:15which includes treatments for diabetes and weight loss that have surged in popularity nationwide.
00:20Unlike injectable versions that require refrigeration, the pill form can be stocked in Amazon's pharmacy kiosks,
00:27giving customers faster and more convenient access to medication.
00:31Amazon says the service is part of a broader strategy to transform how Americans receive health care,
00:37especially in smaller towns and underserved communities.
00:40The expansion also intensifies competition between major retailers, pharmacies and health care companies,
00:46racing to capitalize on one of the fastest-growing sectors in medicine today.
