TrumpRx.gov Unveils Nationwide Slashing of Prescription Drug Prices

President Trump launched TrumpRx.gov, a government platform using Most-Favored-Nation pricing to dramatically reduce costs on dozens of brand-name drugs, with substantial cuts for GLP-1 therapies and fertility medications and plans to add more drugs over time.

TrumpRx.gov aims to slash U.S. drug prices via MFN discounts

President Trump launched TrumpRx.gov to offer steep discounts on 40 high-cost medicines by tying U.S. prices to MFN prices paid in other developed nations. The rollout includes drugs from AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer, with additional products to follow. Patients with prescriptions can access savings via printable or mobile coupons or through manufacturer channels integrated into TrumpRx.gov. Notable examples include large price cuts for diabetes, obesity, fertility, COPD, asthma, and insulin, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Gonal-F, Cetrotide, Ovidrel, and insulin lispro. The move builds on prior executive orders and agreements aimed at lowering prices and reforming how American drug costs are set.

President Launches TrumpRx Website and Pfizer Deal to Lower Drug Prices

President Trump announced a deal with Pfizer to sell drugs directly to consumers at discounted prices through a new website, TrumpRx.gov, aiming to align U.S. drug prices with those in other developed countries. The initiative includes Pfizer's commitment to offer new drugs at the same price globally and to provide drugs to Medicaid at most-favored-nation prices, though the impact on average consumers and Medicaid beneficiaries remains uncertain. The website is expected to launch in 2026, but critics suggest the measure may be more symbolic than transformative.
