Summary

  • 160 new listings lifted TrumpRx.gov to roughly 750 medications, Dr. Mehmet Oz said, broadening the Trump administration’s direct-purchase discount drug program.
  • TrumpRx lets consumers buy from manufacturers at most-favored-nation prices tied to the lowest qualifying OECD benchmark, bypassing insurance middlemen that the administration says inflate costs.
  • 2.4% prescription-price declines had been recorded by early June since the February launch, including 0.9% in May, while discounts span 33% to 93% and cover more than 600 generics.
  • $149 Wegovy, $199 Ozempic and $252 Gonal-F were cited as examples of the pricing cuts; the White House says the platform could cover four out of five U.S. prescriptions.
  • 12 million visitors and an estimated $500 million in savings arrived within two weeks of launch, and the Council of Economic Advisers projects about $600 billion in savings over a decade.
