A new federal website called TrumpRx.gov recently launched, giving people in the United States a new way to look up discounted cash prices on certain prescription medications. The site is designed to help patients compare costs and connect to lower-price purchasing options outside of traditional insurance coverage.
What Is TrumpRx.gov?
TrumpRx.gov is an online platform that lists reduced out-of-pocket prices for select prescription drugs. The site does not sell medications directly. Instead, it helps patients find discounted pricing and then directs them to participating pharmacies or manufacturer-supported purchasing programs.
The goal of the site is simple: make it easier for patients to see potential savings on medications that are often expensive when paying cash.
How It Works for Patients
Using TrumpRx.gov is straightforward:
- Search for your medication by name
- View available discounted cash prices, when offered
- Get connected to purchasing options, such as a manufacturer link or a coupon you can download or print for the pharmacy
These prices are typically intended for people paying out of pocket rather than using insurance.
Examples of Discounted Medications
Some medications listed on TrumpRx.gov include:
“Wegovy® pills starting at roughly $149 per month, Ozempic® around $199 per month, and lower-cost options for commonly used asthma inhalers and fertility-related drugs — like Bevespi® for about $51 and Cetrotide® for about $22.50. These represent substantial discounts compared with typical cash list prices.”
Other examples highlighted on the site include certain diabetes medications, weight-management drugs, inhalers, dermatology treatments, fertility medications, and select insulin products. Availability and pricing may vary by medication and over time.
Who Might Find This Helpful?
TrumpRx.gov may be especially useful for:
- People who are uninsured
- Patients whose insurance does not cover a specific medication
- Anyone who pays cash for prescriptions and wants to compare options
It’s important to note that medications purchased using TrumpRx pricing generally do not count toward insurance deductibles or out-of-pocket maximums, so patients should compare prices with their insurance benefits when possible.
Why This Matters
Prescription costs remain a major concern for many patients — especially for brand-name medications. TrumpRx.gov provides another option to explore when looking for ways to reduce medication expenses, alongside insurance coverage, pharmacy discount programs, and manufacturer assistance plans.

- Check your insurance price first, as it may still be lower
