Trump framed the announcement as a long-awaited breakthrough. “For years, politicians from both parties have promised to bring down prescription drug prices and make health care more affordable, but they all failed,” Trump said Thursday at the White House. “It’s the biggest thing to happen in health care, I think, in many, many decades.”
Unlike Medicare or private pharmacy benefit programs, TrumpRx does not sell drugs directly. Instead, the website connects patients with manufacturers who have signed onto the pricing agreements, providing access to direct-purchase discounts, coupons, or special offers that bypass traditional pharmacy middlemen. Users can search by drug name and see the best available pricing, with the platform updated daily.
Under the new pricing structure:
- Ozempic drops from about $1,028 to roughly $350 per month, with some doses available for as low as $199.
- Wegovy injections fall from $1,349 to similar pricing, while its oral pill version can cost as little as $149, depending on dosage.
- Zepbound, another GLP-1 drug, declines from $1,088 to an average of $346, with some doses near $299.
The White House said the price cuts represent up to 80% savings compared to typical U.S. pharmacy costs. Trump administration officials estimate millions of Americans using these medications could collectively save billions of dollars annually under the new model.
Fertility treatments — which often aren’t covered by insurance and can cost families thousands per cycle — are also seeing sharp reductions.
- Gonal-F, a leading fertility drug, now costs as low as $168 per pen.
- Cetrotide falls from $316 to $22.50.
- Ovidrel drops from $251 to $84.
