—a direct-to-consumer website where Americans can search for medications and compare prices. Consumers can then purchase the medications through pharmaceutical companies’ websites, with or without insurance. See the website here.
The medications offered on TrumpRx require a prescription, including weight-loss drugs Wegovy and Zepbound. Some, like the blood thinner Plavix, will cost as low as $16 per month, while more expensive drugs can exceed $2K. TrumpRx aims to reduce costs by featuring price comparisons, giving more choice to consumers. However, if generic versions of a drug are not featured on the site, or consumers fail to apply savings from insurance, they could miss out on cheaper alternatives. Experts recommend checking insurance coverage to avoid overpaying for drugs.
Drug prices have ballooned in recent decades, increasing at three times the rate of inflation. Heart and diabetes medications are especially driving up costs.
