TL;DR Summary

TrumpRx’s price list shows many branded meds have cheaper generic alternatives: for example, Pristiq can be found for about $200 for 30 days, while generics cost under $30 and even as low as $16.65 on CostPlusDrugs. Experts warn the site may not benefit cash buyers and could steer patients toward pricier branded options, though the White House says it aims to offer the lowest-cost branded choices. Regulators note generics are generally safe and equivalent, though some critics point to FDA testing gaps highlighted by investigations.
