LOS ANGELES—United Parcel Service Inc. Flight Forward drones have flown prescription medications to the front lawn of a private home and to a retirement center, the UPS unit’s first revenue-generating deliveries for drugstore chain CVS Health Corp.

Flight Forward’s maiden delivery flight on Nov. 1 in Cary, N.C., beat rivals in one phase of the race for the nascent market. The second drone flight delivered medications to a public space at a retirement community.
