A press conference was held in the Oval Office to announce the deal between Pfizer and the US Government. Image credit: Win McNamee / Staff via Getty Images. Pfizer is the first in what could be a string of pharmaceutical companies to come to an agreement with the White House to reduce US drug prices. As part of President Trump’s Most Favored Nation (MFN) policy , the company agreed to ensure that US patients are paying less for prescription medicines, with primary care treatments and some select speciality brands set to be offered at savings that will range as high as 85% and an average of 50%. The MFN policy has been set up by Trump’s administration to tie drug prices in the US to those paid elsewhere in the world. These savings will be accessible through both Medicaid and the federal direct purchasing platform TrumpRx.gov. It was also announced that all new medications from Pfizer will be sold at MFN levels. In a 30 September press conference, Trump said: “For many years, Americans have paid the highest prices anywhere in the world for prescription drugs. The major reason is that American consumers have been subsidising research and development costs for the entire planet. They put all of that on us, and yet they were the beneficiaries, so that is being changed as of today.” Discounts, shown on a poster during the press conference, include an 80% discount on Eucrisa (crisaborole), an 85% discount on Duavee (conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene), 50% off Zavzpret (zavegepant), and 40% off Xeljanz (tofacitinib).

By GlobalData Learn more about Strategic Intelligence The agreement includes a three-year grace period that excludes Pfizer from facing tariffs, as long as the promised $70bn investment into US manufacturing goes ahead. In the press conference, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said: “This is a historic day – we are turning the tide and reversing an unfair situation. For years, other rich nations have refused to pay their fair share for medical innovation. This is changing today with this agreement.” While Pfizer is the first to have come to this agreement with the US Government, Trump said that agreements with other pharmaceutical companies could happen in the next few weeks. GlobalData research analyst Cyrus Fan said: “The Trump administration has said the Pfizer deal is the first in a series of deals it intends to secure for the US. This implies more companies will agree to MFN pricing. It is also clear that the Trump administration is easing implementation of MFN by introducing IRP in Medicaid first, leaving room for expansion in the future.” GlobalData is the parent company of Clinical Trials Arena. For those who do not agree to increase the US manufacturing presence and make price agreements with the federal government, President Trump has threatened a 100% tariff on pharmaceutical goods. In a post on his social media network, TruthSocial, on 25 September, President Trump said: “Starting October 1st, 2025, we will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America. ‘IS BUILDING’ will be defined as, ‘breaking ground’ and/or ‘under construction.’ There will, therefore, be no Tariff on these Pharmaceutical Products if construction has started.” This all comes amid a potential government shutdown, with Democrats accusing the Republicans of approving cuts to the Medicaid programme and other health safety nets that could leave millions of US citizens uninsured in the next ten years.

Discover which therapies are expected to grab the major menopause market share @ Menopause Market Report Menopause Overview Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, with an average age of around 51. This phase is characterized by a decline in the production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone, leading to the cessation of menstruation and fertility. The primary cause of menopause is the aging of the ovaries, which results in a reduced number of eggs and a decline in hormone production. However, certain medical procedures like hysterectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy can induce menopause prematurely. Menopause brings about a range of symptoms that can vary widely from woman to woman. Common menopause symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, irritability, fatigue, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances. These symptoms occur due to the hormonal fluctuations that take place during the transition to menopause. Diagnosing menopause is often based on a woman's age, medical history, and symptoms. A key factor is the absence of menstruation for 12 consecutive months, signaling the end of the reproductive period. In some cases, healthcare providers may recommend blood tests to measure hormone levels, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen, to confirm the onset of menopause. Menopause Epidemiology Segmentation DelveInsight estimates that there were approximately 100 million total women in menopause in the 7MM in 2022. For the age-specific analysis, the number of cases of menopause were distributed across various age groups, such as <40 years, 40–50 years, 51–60 years, and 61–65 years, in the 7MM. As per the analysis, the highest number of cases were estimated in the age-group 51-60 years and the lowest in <40 years with 64 million and 3.4 million cases, respectively in 2022. The menopause market report proffers epidemiological analysis for the study period 2019–2032 in the 7MM segmented into: Total Number of Women in Menopause Stage-Specific Distribution of Women in Menopause Age-Specific Distribution of Women in Menopause Number of Women in Menopause with Vasomotor Symptoms Number of Women in Menopause with Moderate-to-Severe Vasomotor Symptoms Menopause Treatment Market The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) suggests waiting until the hot flashes become troublesome to the woman before seeking treatment. The intensity of symptoms, an assessment of treatment-related risks, and the woman's views towards menopause and drugs should all be considered before starting treatment. Duavee (bazedoxifene acetate/conjugated estrogens) is the first and only medicine that combines CE with an estrogen agonist/antagonist, commonly known as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), for the treatment of menopausal VMS. Duavee employs bazedoxifene rather than progestin to help protect the uterine lining from hyperplasia that may occur as a result of estrogen-only treatment. Many women use non-prescription therapies to address disorders such as hot flashes, such as isoflavones, black cohosh, and progesterone-containing hormone lotions. The clinical evidence for the efficacy and long-term safety of these therapies is insufficient. Furthermore, most over-the-counter medications for hot flashes are classified as nutritional supplements and, as such, are not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration. Prescription medications for various purposes that have demonstrated some benefit in alleviating hot flashes are available for women who have hot flashes but cannot undergo hormone therapy. Certain prescription antidepressants may reduce hot flashes in women, including those with a history of breast cancer. Others include gabapentin, clonidine, and methyldopa. The NAMS recommends that women who need relief from mild menopause-related hot flashes first consider lifestyle changes such as manipulating the environment to keep the core body temperature cool, getting regular exercise, quitting smoking, and using relaxation techniques such as paced respiration.

With an aging population and increasing focus on women's empowerment, there's a heightened demand for innovative products and services addressing the physical and emotional challenges associated with menopause. This has spurred a surge in research and development, leading to the creation of a diverse range of hormone replacement therapies, herbal supplements, lifestyle apps, and personalized health plans. As more women seek effective and holistic solutions, companies are embracing a more consumer-centric approach, tailoring their offerings to individual needs and preferences. Additionally, discussions around menopause are becoming less taboo, allowing for open dialogue and information-sharing, further shaping the menopause market dynamics by fostering a supportive ecosystem for women navigating this life stage. However, despite the potential for growth, this menopause market is not without its barriers. Stringent regulatory processes for hormonal treatments and supplements, coupled with concerns about product safety and efficacy, pose challenges for menopause market entrants. Additionally, cultural stigmas and misinformation surrounding menopause still exist in certain societies, inhibiting open discussions and the adoption of new solutions. Economic disparities and limited access to healthcare further compound these issues, preventing equal menopause market penetration. Overcoming these barriers requires a multi-faceted approach, involving education, regulatory reforms, and inclusive product development, to truly tap into the menopause market's potential.
