Amazon backs out of pharmaceutical wholesaling in Maine
Maine has canceled Amazon’s applications to become a pharmaceuticals wholesaler, according to state officials.
The retail giant’s applications were canceled because they did not contain all the required information, and no action had been taken by the applicant to complete them, according to Anne Head, the head of the state Department of Professional & Financial Regulation, which oversees the Maine Board of Pharmacy and all pharmaceutical licensing matters.
The online sales company had submitted three pharmaceutical applications in October – all three expired on Friday, Dec. 1, according to the board’s online license check.
Amazon would not comment on its Maine applications, or its future sales plans in the health care field.
