Trump Rx prescription drug site ‘not a solution’ for many patients, experts say

New website lists only limited number of medications - and many of them cost less in generic form elsewhere

The Trump administration has launched TrumpRx, but there are other sites offering discounts on more medications, and the new government site will appeal to a very limited group of patients, experts say.

Trump has promised reforms on the unusually high drug prices in the US, and he called the announcement the largest reduction in prescription drug prices in history" at a press conference on Thursday. Yet the site only lists 43 medications, more than half of which are available in generic form at significantly cheaper prices elsewhere.
