"United States President Donald Trump has launched a new website that he says will lower the cost of prescription medicines, which have long stood out for their sky-high prices in the US compared with similar products around the world. Trump announced the launch of the new website called TrumpRx, which allows consumers to buy discounted drugs directly from pharma companies, at an event at the White House on Thursday."
"People are going to save a lot of money and be healthy, Trump said, stating that some of the world's largest drug producers have agreed to bring down prices under Most Favoured Nation agreements in exchange for avoiding US tariffs. The website is launching with savings on more than 40 popular drugs, the White House said. Users can search the site for the medication they want, then print out a coupon and present it at a pharmacy to buy at the discounted price."
President Donald Trump launched a website called TrumpRx that offers discounted prescription medicines and allows consumers to print coupons to redeem lower prices at pharmacies. Sixteen drug companies agreed to discount deals under Most Favoured Nation arrangements tied to avoiding US tariffs, and the site showcases more than 40 medications, including weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy. The initiative promises the world's lowest prescription prices and frames the effort as a reset of drug pricing. Analysts question whether the program will meaningfully lower costs for insured patients or transform the pharmaceutical industry.
