The administration first announced the creation of TrumpRx when it began making deals with pharmaceutical companies in the fall.
Details of the deals to lower prices aren't public, but there are now 16 agreements with companies including Pfizer, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly.
The White House says the companies agreed to offer discounts on some, but not all, drugs to consumers paying cash instead of using their health insurance.
And people will be able to find those direct-to-consumer discounts at the new government website, trumprx.gov.
Drug policy experts have said it's unclear how many people will benefit.
However, for people with insurance, co-pays are likely to be cheaper than the cash prices.

Patients can now fill Wagovi pill prescriptions, and they can also order the drug online directly from NovoNordisk for a discount, as well as through telehealth platforms.
The discounted starting dose of the pill is $149 a month.
The higher doses are $299 a month for patients who don't use their health insurance.
The price that affects insurance coverage, called a list price, is the same as the Wagovie injection, around
fourteen hundred dollars a month.
Although insurance coverage for weight loss drugs has become more restrictive, the company says people with insurance could have copays as low as twenty five dollars a month.
