On February 5, 2026, President Donald J. Trump announced the launch of TrumpRx.gov, a new initiative aimed at reducing drug prices for American patients. This program offers discounts on many high-cost medicines to align American prices with those in other developed countries.
• Discounts on Medications: TrumpRx.gov will enable patients to access significant discounts on popular and expensive drugs through user-friendly coupons. Initial offerings include medications from AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer.
• Examples of Price Reductions:
• Ozempic: Monthly price decreases from $1,028 to an average of $350.
• Wegovy: Price drops from $1,349 to as low as $149 for pills, depending on dosage.
• Fertility drugs like Gonal-F will reduce from over $300 to about $168.
• Insulin Lispro will be available for as low as $25 monthly.
• Addressing High Costs: The program aims to provide substantial savings for patients who have been paying high prices for their medications, often exceeding those in other countries.
• Supporting Patients: By offering deep discounts, the initiative is designed to reduce the financial burden on families and ensure that American patients pay fair prices for their medications.
• Executive Actions: This launch follows a series of actions, including an Executive Order from May 2025 and ongoing agreements with pharmaceutical companies to lower prices in the U. S.
President Trump's launch of TrumpRx.gov marks a significant step in addressing high prescription drug prices in the United States. By providing access to lower-cost medicines and promising further price alignments with international standards, the initiative seeks to prioritize American patients' needs and alleviate their financial challenges related to healthcare.
