"President Trump's new TrumpRx online platform is a key part of his plan to help lower drug costs for consumers.
Here's what to know about TrumpRx, which launched Thursday and which the White House said in a fact sheet will provide "immediate relief" to patients across the U.S.
"At this time, TrumpRx discounted pricing is only available for cash-paying patients," the platform notes.
As a result, spending on drugs through TrumpRx won't count toward a consumer's insurance deductible.
Still, cheaper, direct-to-consumer options could benefit uninsured Americans, people with high deductibles and patients whose medications aren't covered by their insurance.
Consumers can currently access 43 different drugs through TrumpRx for a range of conditions.
Late last year, the White House struck deals with more than a dozen drugmakers to participate in the coupon-like program, including AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly Genentech, Merck, Pfizer, and others.
The White House said it plans to strike deals with more drugmakers, expanding the list of discounted drugs available through TrumpRx.
