On February 5, 2026, the federal government officially launched TrumpRx, a new prescription drug pricing platform designed to help Americans access lower cash prices on prescription medications. The announcement includes a detailed fact sheet released by the White House outlining the initiative’s goals, drug pricing reductions, and broader policy context.
What Is TrumpRx?
TrumpRx.gov is a government-operated prescription drug price platform that displays discounted cash prices on dozens of brand-name medications. It does not sell drugs directly. Instead, it provides users with coupons, price listings, and links to manufacturer or pharmacy programs where patients can purchase medicines at reduced prices.
The White House fact sheet states that the administration tied the discounts to Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) pricing agreements to align U.S. drug prices with the lowest prices paid in other developed nations.
What the Program Includes at Launch
At launch, TrumpRx lists 40+ high-cost prescription drugs with substantial price reductions negotiated between the administration and several major manufacturers.
Notable Examples of Price Reductions:
- Ozempic (diabetes drug) — Average price cut from ~$1,028 to ~$350 per month, with some dosages as low as $199.
- Wegovy (obesity/diabetes) — Monthly price reduced from ~$1,349 to as low as $149 for the pill version and ~$199 for injectables.
- Zepbound — Reduced from ~$1,088 to an average of ~$346 and as low as $299.
- Fertility Medications:
- Gonal-F — Reduced to as low as $168 per pen.
- Cetrotide — Dropped from ~$316 to $22.50.
- Ovidrel — Slashed from ~$251 to $84.
- COPD and Asthma Inhalers:
- Bevespi Aerosphere — From ~$458 to $51.
- Airsupra — From ~$504 to $201.
- Insulin Lispro — Available for as low as $25 per month.
- Duavee (hot flashes/osteoporosis) — Reduced from ~$202 to $30.
These discounts are intended to help patients who pay cash for drugs, especially when insurance coverage is limited or absent.
How It Works
- Cash Pricing Only: Patients must pay cash (out-of-pocket) to use TrumpRx prices, and they generally cannot apply these discounts through traditional insurance plans.
- Coupons & Links: The platform provides downloadable coupons and directs users to manufacturer and pharmacy websites where they can purchase medications at the reduced cash price.
- Prescription Required: Users still need a valid prescription to fill the medication through participating pharmacies.
- Most-Favored-Nation Pricing: The administration ties the program to Trump-era executive actions and agreements to match U.S. drug costs with the lowest prices paid internationally for the same medicines.
The official government fact sheet states that TrumpRx aims to ensure Americans “pay no more than the lowest prices in other nations,” as part of a broader strategy to lower healthcare costs.
Who Benefits Most?
The government states that TrumpRx is intended to help Americans who:
- Pay cash for medications
- Have high deductibles or gaps in coverage
- Are prescribed expensive drugs not covered by insurance
- Are uninsured and struggling with prescription affordability
However, healthcare experts have noted that:
- Most insured patients will still often pay less through their insurance’s negotiated copays than through cash pricing, even with discounts.
- Some drugs listed may already have cheaper generic alternatives available through other discount programs.
- Cash purchases do not count toward your insurance deductible or out-of-pocket maximums.
Policy Context and Government Actions
The TrumpRx launch is tied to a series of federal actions aimed at controlling drug prices:
- Executive Order on Most-Favored-Nation Pricing (May 2025) directed the administration to align U.S. prices with those in foreign markets.
- Letters to Drug Manufacturers (July 2025) outlined steps to reduce prices.
- 16 MFN Deals Announced (by late 2025) with major Pharma companies to provide price relief on multiple products.
- Trade agreements intended to adjust international pricing dynamics, including a pact with the U.K. (Dec 2025).
- The administration has called on Congress for legislative reforms that would solidify lower pricing structures beyond this platform.
TrumpRx represents a new federal effort to increase transparency and reduce the out-of-pocket cost of prescription drugs for certain patients — especially those paying cash. While the price cuts on many brand-name drugs are significant, the platform’s impact may be limited for the large majority of Americans who obtain medications through insurance.
For patients without robust coverage or facing high cash costs, TrumpRx could offer meaningful savings. But it remains just one piece in a broader, more complex national prescription pricing landscape.
