Ep. 207: Latest Tariffs Update! How New U.S. Tariffs Could Affect Your Hormonal Medication Costs!

Are you worried about the rising cost and availability of your essential prescription drugs? Are you taking thyroid hormone medication, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) drugs like estrogen and progesterone, or GLP-1 drugs for weight loss? Get ready, because the U.S. pharmaceutical landscape is undergoing a massive shift, and your medications could be directly impacted!


Back in April, our podcast covered the first announcements of a new wave of tariffs targeting imports critical to the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. These new tariffs, which began with a baseline 10% tariff, are now rising to 25% as of August 1, and have the potential for to increase up to 200% within 12 to 18 months. Experts warn of significant ripple effects across the entire healthcare industry.


These policies aim to bring prices for American patients in line with other developed nations and reduce reliance on foreign sources. But what are the hidden costs and potential consequences of this monumental shift for you?


In this crucial episode of My Thyroid Health, we dive deep into:

  • The imminent financial implications for your prescriptions, as increased production and import costs are likely to be passed on.

  • How these changes could exacerbate an already critical situation, potentially worsening existing supply chain vulnerabilities for crucial medications.

  • Which specific medications, including many common thyroid treatments, hormone replacement therapies, and popular weight management drugs, are most exposed to these unprecedented policy changes.

  • The daunting challenges and extensive timelines involved in any shift to U.S.-based pharmaceutical production, suggesting a period of significant uncertainty before any long-term relief.


Don't wait for your next prescription refill to discover the impact! This episode will not only reveal the full implications of these policy changes but also equip you with critical, proactive strategies to help protect yourself against rising costs and potential shortages.


Listen in to learn what you can do right now to review your coverage, explore alternatives, and ensure uninterrupted access to the essential care and medications you need!
