What is TrumpRx?
TrumpRx.gov is a US government website, launched on February 5, 2026, that lists discounted cash prices for brand-name drugs, and now generics, and sends you to the maker or a pharmacy to buy them. It doesn’t sell medicines itself. On October 12, 2026 it listed Wegovy pens from $199 a month and Zepbound from $299.
- GLP‑1 medicines are prescription-only in the US, including when bought at a TrumpRx price.
- We list prices as TrumpRx.gov and the makers show them, with the date we checked. We don’t name or rank pharmacies.
What GLP-1 prices does TrumpRx show?
On October 12, 2026, TrumpRx.gov listed 4 GLP‑1 medicines, each shown next to a much higher “original price”, the undiscounted price.1
| Medicine | TrumpRx price | “Original price” shown |
|---|---|---|
| Wegovy pill (semaglutide) | $149/mo | $1,349 |
| Wegovy pen (semaglutide) | $199/mo | $1,349 |
| Ozempic (semaglutide) | $199/mo | $1,028 |
| Zepbound (tirzepatide) | $299/mo | $1,087 |
TrumpRx.gov, checked October 12, 2026. The site says it now also lists “hundreds of generics”.1
These are starting prices, for the lowest doses. Higher doses cost more on the makers’ own self-pay lists: $349 a month for Wegovy pens and $449 for Zepbound 7.5 mg and up.3,4 Full lists are in How much is Wegovy without insurance? and How much is Zepbound without insurance?
Do you still need a prescription, and can you use insurance?
You still need a valid prescription, and TrumpRx prices are cash prices you pay yourself rather than through insurance.2
A March 2026 explainer in AJMC, a managed-care journal, said the site launched on February 5, 2026, and reported that it “provides a coupon” for use at a pharmacy, or sends you to the maker’s website to buy.2 It also reported that paying this way doesn’t lower your insurance deductible.2 For people with Medicare, Medicare.gov says TrumpRx purchases don’t count toward the Medicare deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.5
So if your plan covers a GLP‑1, compare your copay with the cash price before choosing. How prescriptions work is in Guide 6.
Is TrumpRx the cheapest option?
Not always. Its Wegovy and Zepbound prices match the makers’ own self-pay starting prices, so for those 2 medicines it adds no extra discount.1,3,4
For people with Medicare, the GLP‑1 Bridge charges $50 a month for Wegovy, Foundayo or the Zepbound KwikPen, for those who meet its criteria.5 People with commercial insurance that covers the medicine may pay less through the maker’s savings card.3,4
Prices on the site can change at any time, so check the date. See Does Medicare cover Zepbound or Wegovy?
