The trend: GoodRx is providing pricing infrastructure for the newly debuted TrumpRx and launching a Pfizer-branded product page as it moves further beyond its roots as a coupon aggregator.

Why it matters: Pfizer’s official branded presence on GoodRx marks a departure from pharma’s long-standing wariness of discount platforms and underscores the growing role of direct-to-consumer (D2C) services in how drugmakers think about access, affordability, and distribution.

GoodRx is planning more branded pharma integrations. In its TrumpRx announcement, GoodRx said it expects additional manufacturer integrations to follow Pfizer’s launch. That also reinforces GoodRx's role as the virtual and in-person pharmacy counter with the pricing interface.

Pharma continues to build out D2C and consumer-facing models. Drugmakers including Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly—which both partner with GoodRx for cash-pay discounts on their GLP-1 drugs—are leading in-house D2C pharma efforts, reflecting growing comfort with direct engagement for prescription drugs.

Telehealth is increasingly where prescriptions originate, not just where care is delivered. Companies like Ro and Hims & Hers have built end-to-end care and prescribing models, a shift GoodRx joined last year with the launch of its own telehealth offerings.

Implications for pharma and telehealth: Pharma companies are edging closer to a more familiar digital retail presence, with branded “storefronts” on platforms like TrumpRx and GoodRx. While these experiences are far from Amazon-like shopping, they place products from a single manufacturer in a centralized, patient-friendly location.

With the telehealth and D2C landscape poised to become even more crowded, drugmakers can lean on brand recognition and FDA approval to stand out with consumers there. For GoodRx and other telehealth platforms, partnerships with major manufacturers add credibility and weight to their broader ambitions in prescription access and care delivery.
