NEW YORK (AP) — The Trump administration has launched TrumpRx, a website it says will help patients buy prescription drugs directly at a discounted rate. “You’re going to save a fortune,” President Donald Trump said at the site’s unveiling Thursday night. The government-hosted website is not a platform for buying medications. Instead, it’s set up as a facilitator, pointing Americans to drugmakers’ direct-to-consumer websites, where they can make purchases. It also provides coupons to use at pharmacies. The site launches with over 40 medications, including weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy. The site is part of a larger effort by the Trump administration to show it’s tacking the challenges of high costs.
