Ep. 181: Tariffs and Your Medications--What You Need to Know

Tariffs are making headlines — and they could soon be hitting closer to home than you think. (We're talking about your medications!)

In 2025, proposed tariffs from the Trump administration could drive up the cost and shrink the supply of some of the most commonly used prescription drugs — especially thyroid meds like levothyroxine, liothyronine, and natural desiccated thyroid, hormone replacement therapy for perimenopause and menopause, and even GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide — and yes, that includes Wegovy and Zepbound and compounded GLPs.

What’s going on? It all comes down to potential tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals and their ingredients — most of which come from China and India. And generic drugs? They’re especially at risk, since they depend heavily on international manufacturing and already run on razor-thin margins.

The goal is to boost U.S. drug production, but here’s the catch: that shift won’t happen overnight. Experts say we could see higher prices and even more shortages before things get better.

So… if you rely on thyroid medications, HRT, or GLP-1s, what does this mean for you? And more importantly — what can you do about it?

Paloma Health has got you covered! In today’s episode, we break it all down — what’s happening, what’s at stake, and how to stay one step ahead.
