TrumpRx Offers Discounted Drug Prices Mainly for Uninsured and Cash Payers
The TrumpRx site launched Feb. 5 lists discounted prices for 43 brand-name drugs, targeting uninsured and high-deductible plan patients paying cash, per White House.
- The TrumpRx website launched by President Donald Trump's administration offers discounted prices on 43 prescription drugs, primarily through printable coupon cards for out-of-pocket payers.
- Experts note that while TrumpRx mainly lists brand-name drugs, 91% of U.S. prescriptions are for generics, which are often cheaper and widely available at pharmacies.
- Pharmacists warn that stocking discounted brand-name drugs may result in financial losses for pharmacies and could limit medication availability.
- Pharmacists emphasize that patients should inform providers about all their medications, as filling prescriptions from different sources via TrumpRx might increase the risk of undetected drug interactions.
