Online pharmacy start-up Amazon, bought by PillPack in 2018, has further expanded its online retail capacity. The firm has won an additional nine licences for its Arizona mail-order site to sell into other states. The expansion took the site's total operating states to 19. Amazon has three other sites in New Hampshire, Florida and Texas, with 49, 45 and 43 licenses respectively. The licence extensions were seen by analysts as a sign of PillPack’s future ambitions in the market; Amazon would start by offering prescription drug internally before the products were offered to the public via PillPack.
