AMAZON EXPANDS PRESCRIPTION DRUG OFFERING

Amazon is adding a prescription drug discount program to its growing array of health care offerings. The online retail giant said starting Tuesday subscribers to its RxPass who have Prime memberships can pay $5 a month to fill as many prescriptions as they need from a list of about 50 generic medications. The company said the flat fee could cover a list of medications like the antibiotic amoxicillin and the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen. Sildenafil also made the list. It’s used to treat erectile dysfunction under the brand name Viagra and also treats a form of high blood pressure.
