According to Trump over 40 medicines are available for purchase on the website, including Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy at $199. He added that pharma major EMD Serono would“dramatically cut the cost of its most common IVF drug.”
“A single dose of the most common IVF drug in the country, Gonal-F, will plummet from the highest price in the developed world that we paid - the US was subsidising everybody,” he added.
The discounts follow negotiations since September last year, with over a dozen pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, among others. The report added that these negotiations often included tariff threats.
