President Donald Trump on Friday announced a major expansion of his administration’s initiative aimed at helping Americans access discounted prescription drugs.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the government-sponsored website TrumpRx.gov had added 160 prescription drugs, bringing the total number of discounted drugs offered through the program to more than 800.
“I am pleased to announce that TrumpRx.gov has added 160 more Prescription Drugs at deeply discounted prices for a new total of over 800 of the most commonly used Prescription Drugs,” Trump wrote.
“TrumpRx.gov will now provide clear, transparent and DISCOUNTED quotes for FOUR FIVE of every prescription filled by Americans,” he added.

Trump announced the initiative in February, arguing that Americans have long paid more for prescription drugs than consumers in many other countries.
The website was launched after the administration finalized agreements with 16 major pharmaceutical companies under “most preferred nation” pricing arrangements.
Under the agreements, participating drugmakers agreed to lower prices for certain drugs and extend discounted prices to eligible consumers who pay cash through TrumpRx, while receiving waivers on tariffs, according to the administration.

Companies including Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk are participating in the program and have agreed to lower prices on popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs.
Administration officials also highlighted discounts on a number of other products, including inhalers, HIV treatments, diabetes medications and fertility drugs.
TrumpRx.gov allows users to search for discounted medications, view estimated savings, and create coupons for participating prescriptions.

Trump said the initiative builds on efforts to lower prescription drug costs from his first term.
“During my First Term, I was proud to make History when we lowered Drug Prices, even if only by a small percentage, because it represented a HUGE change compared to other presidents who only consistently and significantly increased Drug Prices every year,” Trump wrote.
“Then, during my Second Term, I decided to go BIG with Most Preferred Countries Pricing – meaning we pay no more, or ideally less, than any other Country for the same Medicine,” he continued. “Now we’re lowering Prices, and we’re lowering them by a lot, sometimes by 400, 500 or 600 percent!”

Trump also claimed that the program resulted in significant savings for consumers.
“These Most Favored Nation Agreements have actually saved American Patients over $400 Million since the launch of TrumpRx.gov,” he said.
The president also argued that tariffs play an important role in securing pricing agreements.
“Of course, this would not have been possible without my use of RECIPES to get other Countries to ‘pay’ instead of relying on the defrauding of American patients, as has been the case for decades until the Most Favored Nations put an immediate ‘stop’ order on this very unfair and frankly stupid situation,” Trump wrote.
