TrumpRx claims to offer the lowest prices on prescription drugs, but many have cheaper generics elsewhere.[3] The platform shows discounts from list prices, such as Wego's pen from $1,349 to $199 per month (74–85% off), Ozempic from $1,028 to $199 (66–81% off), and Zepbound from $1,087 to $299 (72% off).[2][3][4] Offers over 40 popular medications where users can print coupons for use at pharmacies.[1][4] These cash prices preserve previous manufacturers' offers, such as Novo Nordisk for Wegos ($199–349) or Lilly for Zepbound ($299–449).[3] Experts say that buying without insurance can be more expensive than with insurance, especially with high co-pays.[3] Most Americans already get drugs at lower prices through insurance.[1] TrumpRx uses Most-Favored-Nation pricing to guarantee low prices.[2][4]
