Drug provider Eli Lilly is expanding access to prescription drugs through its new website, allowing consumers to receive prescription deliveries for weight loss drugs from their homes. LillyDirect will simplify the journey for patients, eliminating the cumbersome steps of visiting a doctor for a prescription and subsequently navigating to a pharmacy for fulfillment.
By harnessing telehealth capabilities, Eli Lilly aims to bridge gaps in access to essential medications, particularly in the realm of weight management. Neither the company nor its physicians receive compensation for prescribing Lilly. Lilly's proactive approach to integrating prescription delivery services aligns with broader industry trends toward patient-centric care and convenience.
Form Health has pledged to review each patient's medical records to prevent potential drug interactions in patients.
