Uber with ScriptDrop will deliver pharmacies using prescription delivery

Uber partners with ScriptDrop will deliver medications using prescriptions to customers, the company announced on Wednesday.

Uber will be the default delivery service for ScriptDrop pharmacies in 37 states and will eventually expand to others.

The service lets pharmacies offer prescription deliveries for patients.

“Being able to combine ScriptDrop’s integrated interface with Uber’s technology means that pharmacies of all sizes will be better equipped to improve prescription, Amanda Epp, ScriptDrop CEO, said.

The COVID-19 pandemic fueled a rise in mail-order and courier-based drug deliveries, as people avoided in-person trips to the pharmacy.

This is Uber’s second foray into prescription delivery. It partnered with NimbleRx to deliver drugs in Seattle and Dallas in August 2020.
