TrumpRx is a key component of President Donald Trump's efforts to lower drug prices.
US President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025. Pfizer will sell some drugs at a 50% average discount on a direct-to-consumer website called TrumpRx, an initiative intended to allow Americans to pay for prescriptions at discounted rates negotiated by the government.

Overview

  • Trump announced the site’s launch at a White House event, with the portal going live Thursday evening featuring more than 40 medicines at reduced cash prices.
  • TrumpRx.gov does not sell drugs and instead routes users to manufacturers’ direct-to-consumer channels and generates pharmacy coupons.
  • Discounts stem from “most favored nation” pricing deals the administration says it struck with at least 16 major pharmaceutical companies, often in exchange for tariff relief.
  • Examples touted include GLP-1 weight-loss drugs priced roughly $149–$350 per month, Gilead’s Epclusa falling to about $2,425, and cuts for fertility drugs and inhalers.
  • Open questions include the full drug list, how long discounts will last, and whether purchases count toward deductibles, with watchdogs pursuing records through a FOIA lawsuit and outside reports saying the platform is powered by GoodRx.
