Latest NewsNovember 13, 2025 WH Announces Price Drop in GLP-1s, Other Drugs The White House announced that it had reached agreements with pharmaceutical manufacturers Eli Lilly and Company and Novo Nordisk to reduce the prices Americans pay for GLP-1s and other drugs. The prices of Ozempic and Wegovy will fall from $1,000 and $1,350 per month, respectively, to $350 when purchased through TrumpRx. The price of Zepbound and Orforglipron, if approved, will fall from $1,086 per month to an average of $346 when purchased through TrumpRx. In the event that the FDA later approves the Wegovy pill, or certain similar “GLP-1” drugs in each company’s pipeline intended to be taken orally rather than as a shot, the initial dose of those drugs will be priced at $150 per month through TrumpRx. The Medicare prices of Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound will be $245. State Medicaid programs will also have access to these medications at these prices. Medicare will be able to cover semaglutide and tirzepatide for patients with obesity and related comorbidities for the first time, and Medicare enrollees will pay a $50 monthly copay. Additionally, the agreement provides for reduced costs on other Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk medicines when purchased through TrumpRx. For example:
The agreement also provides that Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk will guarantee MFN prices on all new medicines that they bring to market, repatriate increased foreign revenue on existing products, and provide every State Medicaid program in the country access to MFN drug prices on their products.
