Demand for popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Zepbound and Wegovy has created a logistical challenge for patients seeking treatment. While Amazon itself does not directly prescribe, it offers a streamlined process to access weight loss medication through its integrated healthcare services, including One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy.

With over 41.9% of U.S. adults having obesity, many are seeking effective weight management solutions [1.10.1]. This raises the question for members of Amazon's healthcare services: **Can you get Zepbound through Amazon One Medical?** The short answer is yes, it's possible through a multi-step process.

Federal regulations, like the Controlled Substances Act, place strict limitations on the prescription of medications like Xanax through telemedicine. Due to these rules and internal safety protocols, Amazon's One Medical service and its Urgent Virtual Care do not initiate new prescriptions or provide renewals for controlled substances such as Xanax.
