United States President Donald Trump has launched a new free website called TrumpRx.gov, which offers Americans around 43 popular prescription drugs, including Wegovy, Ozempic and Insulin, at reduced prices.
According to a White House fact sheet, the move is aimed at addressing the cost-of-living and affordability crisis and will allow patients in the US to access many of the highest-priced medicines in the country at prices in line with the lowest paid by other developed nations. This is known as the most-favored-nation, or MFN price.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on 5 February, Trump said Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy will both be priced at $199; while pharma major EMD Serono would “dramatically cut the cost of its most common IVF drug, Gonal-F”.
Lower costs on most popular drugs: White House
The fact sheet called this “historic price reductions for Americans”, adding that this will help adults struggling with diabetes, heart disease (Ozempic and Wegovy only), obesity, and other conditions.
- The monthly prices of Ozempic and injectable Wegovy will fall from $1,028 and $1,349, respectively, to an average price of $350 and as low as $199, depending on dosage strength.

- The monthly price of Zepbound and will fall from $1,088 to an average price of $346 and as low as $299, depending on dosage strength.
- Massive savings on some of the most commonly used fertility medications in the country to help families grow. Many patients struggling with infertility pay for their medicines out-of-pocket, meaning they will stand to save more than $2,000 per cycle of fertility drugs, on average.
- Gonal-F, one of the most commonly-used fertility drugs, will see its price reduced to as low as $168 per pen, depending on dosage strength.
- The price of Cetrotide, another commonly used fertility medicine, will drop from $316 to $22.50.
- The price of Ovidrel will fall from $251 to $84.

- Airsupra, an inhaler used to treat asthma symptoms and attacks, will see a price drop from $504 to $201.
- Eucrisa, a topical ointment for atopic dermatitis, will be discounted from $792 to $158.
