Trump launches TrumpRx: New government portal promises up to 80% off prescription drug prices

On Thursday, President Donald Trump launched TrumpRx, a government-hosted website that helps people find cheaper prescription drugs. TrumpRx does not sell medicines. It only shows cash discounts and coupon deals from drugmakers and pharmacy partners. At launch, the portal listed more than 40 medicines, including popular weight-loss and diabetes drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.

President Trump said the site can give big savings by using “most-favored-nation” pricing deals with drug companies. Officials clearly said these discounts are for cash payments only and insurance prices may be different.

The White House claimed some drugs could be 80% cheaper or even more, depending on the medicine and company, Newsweek. Fertility drugs and GLP-1 weight-loss medicines were highlighted as having some of the largest discounts. The move is aimed at people worried about high health care and drug costs, especially those paying cash.


Biggest TrumpRx discounts (Examples)

Wegovy Pill: Save about $1,200 (89% off) — price drops to around $149.

Wegovy Pen: Save about $1,150 (85% off) — price around $199.

Ozempic Pen: Save about $828 (81% off) — price around $199.

Zepbound: Save about $788 (72% off) — price around $299.

Gonal-f (fertility drug): Save about $798 (83% off).

Cetrotide: Save about $293 (93% off) — one of the highest percentage cuts.

The above list medication is stated by Newsweek. Some medicines like Insulin Lispro show no savings on the starting dose. Prices listed are based on the smallest or starting dose, so final savings can change by strength.

How TrumpRx works

Users visit the TrumpRx website and select a medicine. The site shows a coupon code under “How It Works” for each drug. The coupon can be printed or saved digitally on Android or Apple wallets. Users take the coupon to a participating pharmacy listed on the site, as per Newsweek. Different medicines have different pharmacy partners.

What happens next

The White House said more drugs will be added in the coming months. New medicines will come from companies that sign pricing agreements with the government. The goal is to expand beyond the first 40 branded drugs. Supporters say TrumpRx could help cash-paying patients save big, while critics will closely watch how much it really lowers overall drug costs.
