Many TrumpRx drugs are cheaper elsewhere

Axios - More than half of the drugs listed on the new TrumpRx website have cheaper generic versions available elsewhere, Axios' Maya Goldman reports.

• Pristiq, a Pfizer antidepressant, costs about $200 with a TrumpRx coupon for a 30-day supply.
• But a comparable generic goes for less than $30 on GoodRx and for just $16.65 on Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs.

 26 of the 43 drugs listed on TrumpRx at launch have generic alternatives, per Anna Kaltenboeck, a drug pricing expert.

A White House spokesperson tells Axios cheaper alternatives may exist for some products, but the site's value lies in providing the lowest-cost option for branded products.
