Ozempic cheaper in Canada soon?

[ScaleHater_1985]

So, I saw this article: https://archive.fo/QXpus

Basically, generic Ozempic might be available in Canada next year because of a patent issue! And here's why: https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/novo-nordisk-s-canadian-mistake?.

Time to cross the border!

Wow, that's actually amazing news. Someone messed up big time, or maybe it was intentional? Either way, huge win for us!

I wonder what the cost will be in Canada?

My doctor in Canada mentioned this too! I was worried about the long-term cost, but she said we could start and see how it goes, since cheaper options are coming. It's reassuring.

Another reason to love being Canadian!!

Since the patent is for semaglutide, does that mean generic Rybelsus could be a possibility too?

Compounded Ozempic was my only option at $150, but it's gone now. Can't afford $500 out of pocket.

I'm glad I'm in Canada, it's already more affordable here. Sucks for Americans, but Canadian pharmacies won't fill US prescriptions.

Are generic versions as effective though? Anyone have experience with that?

 

[Metabolic_Mandy]

I heard it was a very small fee they missed.

 

[Wolf_Dad604]

I heard Novo Nordisk is working on something new that will be released in 2028, so they probably don't care too much about this. It's not even news in Denmark.

Someone definitely lost their job over this!

 

[Sub-Q_Sammy]

I'm paying around 240 CAD a month for a 3mL pen, so I really hope it gets cheaper soon!

I order mine online and the customs process is easy. International shipping too.

I saw something about GLP-1s potentially helping with colorectal cancer survival rates. Anyone else seen that?

Yeah, I think it's because they help people maintain a healthier weight and lifestyle in general, which reduces cancer risk. It's all connected!

Saw someone saying generics could be here as early as Jan 2025 at a third of the price. Anyone know if that's accurate?

Everything I've read says 2026.
