Generic Ozempic in Canada - Coming Soon?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
Good to know, I'm also in that city and was thinking about checking whether a local pharmacy might handle pickup rather than delivery. Might just end up going with the bigger drugstore chain after all! Thanks!
 
Hey, also up in a small northern town, though mine's over in BC. Got access to a big-box pharmacy chain where you're at? I'm paying around 96 Canadian for brand name and 93 for the generic once it launches in early June. Hoping the prices ease up for you soon too.
 
Haven't renewed my script yet, so I'll check in with my local pharmacy to compare pricing since you're not the first person from Ontario telling me their cost is lower. This is round two for me trying ozempic, couldn't manage the earlier monthly cost before a cheaper option showed up. Even the lower figure people mention is stretching my budget.
 
Prices genuinely seem all over the place. Looked into it myself and honestly it's baffling. Doesn't affect me much since my plan handles the branded option, just not the cheaper alternative. Wouldn't matter anyway since it looks like insured folks end up paying higher retail regardless. Anyway my visit to the pharmacy today quoted the generic at roughly two hundred out of pocket. Staff mentioned that covered two pens. So somewhere around a hundred per pen maybe?
 
I'm out west too, but you shouldn't have been paying that much before the cheaper option came out either. My own cost for a 1mg pen (4 doses) dropped substantially once the more affordable version became available. Worth calling around to other pharmacies if that's possible for you.
 
You in the US, I take it? Could you buy it from Canada? Generics are available here and Ozempic dropped prices to match. A pen costs us about $88cad (~$125-150 via online services).
 
breezyramen Only 3 weeks for the generic? What do you pay? Just collected my ozempic and prices dipped slightly again (when the generic arrived it was 92 or maybe 98, my memory's fuzzy). I bought 2 pens then at that price, and today's pen cost $89 and change, and the pen holds 4 doses.
 
Yes, and it varies. A pen of the generic, 1mg, costs me $120. Switching to generic happened two months ago, and before that $360 bought a 1mg brand name pen.
