Overview
- The federal site lists 43 medicines, displays out‑of‑pocket cash prices, routes buyers to manufacturer programs or coupons, and does not take insurance.
- STAT’s analysis found at least 18 brand drugs on TrumpRx have cheaper generic equivalents or lower cash prices through services like GoodRx and Cost Plus Drugs.
- The lineup leans toward high‑cost categories such as GLP‑1 diabetes and weight‑loss therapies and migraine treatments, while some staples like insulin lispro are posted at $25.
- Manufacturers participating at launch include AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk and Pfizer, with Pfizer saying average discounts are around 50% and can reach 85% on some products.
- Health policy experts caution that insured patients may not benefit because TrumpRx purchases often do not count toward deductibles, so careful price comparison remains essential.
