Some of the most dramatic reductions involve GLP-1 medications, which previously could carry monthly list prices exceeding $1,000.
The administration has also announced substantial discounts on fertility medications, insulin, inhalers, cholesterol treatments and dozens of other prescription drugs.
For some medicines, advertised cash-price reductions range from 50% to 90% or more compared with previous list prices, the administration’s release noted.
TrumpRx was launched by the president in February.
Under the deals, drugmakers agree to offer Americans the same or lower prices than those charged to patients abroad — a significant shift after decades of higher domestic pricing.
“TrumpRx means lower prices at the pharmacy counter, starting now.”
“For years, politicians from both parties have promised to bring down prescription drug prices and make health care more affordable, but they all failed,” Trump said at a White House presser.
Unlike Medicare or private pharmacy benefit programs, TrumpRx does not sell drugs directly. Instead, the website connects patients with manufacturers who have signed onto the pricing agreements.
